The vast land and fertile soil in the Agusan River Basin lured people to use the land for agricultural and tree plantations. The agricultural plantation development in the floodplain may have some implications to the wetland ecology, particularly on the water movement, biodiversity and in the overall relationships of the various aspects of the basin. Thus information on the agricultural plantation development and the use of agrochemicals that can contribute to water contamination in the basin were assessed as inputs for the management of Agusan River Basin toward sustainable development.

This paper describes how aquatic insect diversity in major natural habitats of Agusan marsh relates with nearby ricefields to determine the interdependence between them for sustainable rice production through natural pest control and for conservation of aquatic fauna in the marsh. Sampling for one year including two cropping seasons of rice production was conducted in various natural habitats of the marsh and in the adjoining ricefields. Both the natural habitats and ricefields were characterized in relation to determining habitat suitability for aquatic insects. The sedge-dominated swamp had the highest diversity among…??
