Management of Rice Yellow Stem Borer and Gall Midge

Abstract

Rice cultivated under different agro climatic conditions viz., water logged, deep water, hills, high humidity, high temperatures, salinity, alkalinity and flood prone areas. The yield loss of rice crop takes place by many stresses throughout the crop growth period like different pests such as insects, nematodes, diseases, weeds and rats. To avoid this, adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies is the best solution to tackle the pest problems. Rice IPM provides a framework for integrating knowledge, skills and information on rice pest management.
