1. Green leafhopper Nephotettix virescens
• Adults - are green with black spot and black patch on wings.
![Page 3: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Symptom of damage
• Both nymphs and adults feed on rice by sucking the plant sap
• They migrate to the field soon after seedlings have emerged.
• Yellowing of leaves from tip to downwards. Vector for the diseases viz., Rice tungro virus, rice yellow & transitory yellowing
Yellowing Rice tungro virus

Management
• biological control :wasps parasitize the eggs. They are attacked by aquatic veliid bugs, nabid bugs, empid flies, damselflies, dragonflies, and spiders
• Use resistant varieties.• The vegetation on the bunds should also be sprayed
with the insecticides • Set up light traps
![Page 6: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. Rice case wormNymphula depunctalis
Larva Adult
![Page 7: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Symptom of damage
• Caterpillars feed on green tissues of the leaves and leave become whitish papery
• Tubular cases around the tillers by cutting the apical portion of leaves
• Floating of tubular cases on the water
• Eg:Case tubes
![Page 8: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Management
cultural control: • the use of correct fertilizer application, • wider spacing (30 × 20 mm)• early planting• draining the field• transplanting older seedlings• growing a ratoon can also help control this insect• dislodge the cases – running rope
![Page 9: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
biological agents: • snails are useful (predate on eggs), Spiders,
dragon flies, birds
Chemical control• larvae are highly sensitive to insecticides. • The use of foliar treatments-
carbamate• Pyrethroids should be avoided
![Page 10: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3.Black bugScotinophara lurida
• The newly emerged adult is white and tinged with green and pink
• Mature adults are shiny dark brown or black.
![Page 11: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Symptoms of damage
• Both the adults and nymphs remove the plant sap• They prefer the stem nodes because of the large sap
reservoirs• Black bugs feed on the rice plant from seedling to
maturity growth stages• Heavy infestation and “bug burn” is usually visible after
heading or maturing feeding damage of black bugs causes half-filled and empty grains.
• Ten adults per hill can cause losses of up to 35% in some rice.
![Page 12: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Management• maintain a clean field by removing the weeds
and drying the rice field during ploughing• Direct-seeded rice crops tend to have less tillers
in one planting point and thus discourage population growth
• During early infestation, the water level in the field may be raised for 2-3 days to force the insects to move upwards.
• Flooding the fields can also cause higher egg mortality. After harvest, fields might be ploughed to remove remaining insects.
![Page 13: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• In the field, there are biological control agents such as small wasps that parasitize the eggs.
• Ground beetles, spiders, crickets, and red ants attack the eggs, nymphs, and adults.
• Both the eggs and the nymphs are fed-upon by coccinellid beetles
![Page 14: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Symptom of damage • Presence of brown coloured egg mass near leaf
tip. • Caterpillar bore into central shoot of paddy
seedling and tiller• Causes drying of the central shoot known as
“dead heart” • Grown up plant whole panicle becomes dried
“white ear”.Dead heart White ear
![Page 17: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Management
Cultural control• proper timing of planting and synchronous planting.• harvesting at ground level to remove the larvae in
stubble.• Ploughing and flooding • egg masses should be handpicked • The level of irrigation water can be raised
periodically to submerge the eggs deposited on the lower parts of the plant.
![Page 18: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Symptom of damage
• This pest attacks all stages of the rice crop• Larvae cut the seedlings in large scale • It becomes very destructive when the
population is high that it can totally devour the host plant
• Mature panicles are cut off from the base of the plants
• Severe infestation - cattle grazing appearance to the field.
![Page 21: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Management
• Parasitoids such as tachinids, ichneumonids, eulophids, chalcids, and braconid wasps parasitize this pest
• Ants, ducks and birds feed on the pest. • Fungal diseases and viruses also infect the
larvae• Chemical control :when populations are
extremely high E.g Pyrethroids
![Page 22: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Cultural control :• Ploughing ratoon of the previous crop• Harvest the crop and plough immediately • Use early maturing varieties • removing all off-season plant
Biological control: • The pupa is host to some species of wasps.• spiders eat the adults. • Resistant varieties
Eg: BG 304, BG 350• installing Light traps, • -Split application of Nitrogen fertilizers application of insecticide
(Eg : Carbofuran, Diaczinon)

Management
cultural control :• draining the rice field for 3-4 days during the
early stage of infestation• Nitrogen application can be split to reduce
BPH build up• Synchronous planting within 3 weeks of
staggering and maintaining a free-rice period could also decrease the build-up of BPH.
![Page 47: SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF PEST IN PADDY CULTIVATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081502/551a6629550346b52d8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Biological control :• Eggs are preyed upon by mirid bugs and phytoseiid
mites. • Nymphs and adults are eaten by spiders and
coccinellid beetles.
Resistant varieties:• A number of varieties with moderate level of
resistance to BPH have been developed• Bg 379-2, Bg 300, Bg 403, Bg 304, Bg 357, Bg 358, Bg
360 and 1. AT 402.

Management
• Remove the alternate hosts and adjust the time of planting (early)
• Use early maturing varieties • Optimum recommendation of potash fertilizer • Small wasps parasitized the eggs and the
maggots. • The rice plant can compensate for the damage
caused by the rice whorl maggot.

the initial stage of infestation – dimethoate – methyl demeton – Conserve the natural enemies like Scymnus
sp.,Anatrichus pygmaeus, and Mepachymerus ensifer

Management
Cultural control • removal of alternate hosts • early planting • use of late-maturing cultivars. • Netting and handpicking the bugs reduce
their numbers.

biological control: • small wasps parasitize the eggs and the meadow
grasshoppers prey on them. • spiders• coccinellid beetles• dragonflies• use of entomopathogens
chemical control • Fenthoate • Cabaryl• Diacinon
