rodents’ infestation is crucial for ensuring crops, integrating practices into rice farming

especially the cultural methods can be a sustainable and effective approach to manage rodent

population. Rice cultivation is a vital component of global food production and rodent are

characterized by continues growing incisors and single pair sharp teeth. In the rice field cause

a significant damage, they feed on rice crop and consuming both growing crops and stored

grains this can lead reduce yield in the rural farmers. and also, rodent may impact the

structural integrity of the cultivation area. The rural farmers need to practice cultural methods

to prevent the introduction of rodents some method control is Crop rotation, this method can

disrupt the reproduction and feeding patterns of rodents. Community Involving plays a

proviral role in cultural practices for rodent’s control. Rural farmers can organize collectively

efforts to implement synchronized farming and harvesting schedule. reducing the availability

rodents to store grains. this method discourages rodents nesting and feeding with storage

areas
 Integrated cultural practices in to rice farming offers a holistic and sustainable

approach to combat rodents’ infestation by incorporating method such as practice crop

rotation, engaging community collaboration, and adopting traditional storage technique,

farmers in rural areas can manage rodent population effectively.

Infestation.

Phase 2: Assessment

The barangay Captain of San Manuel Naguilian Isabela give a permission to seminar

Involve to conduct. Survey to the farmers of San Manuel to find out their problem about

rodents. This ensures immediate response to the needs about rodents’ infestation.

Phase 3: Knowledge Transfer

Base in the assessment, Extension agent establish seminar that includes:
