Arthropod diversity during vegetative growth phase of rice field at Kedah, Malaysia
Other than being wetland ecosystems that occupy the largest area of the agricultural land in Malaysia, rice field is also a home to numerous organisms. This study attempts to investigate the arthropod diversity during the vegetative growth phase of rice field at Kedah. Six sampling points has been c...
