Insect Pest Management | Plant Hopper

Plant hoppers are pests that feed on rice sap, causing yellowing and wilting of leaves. They can transmit viral diseases, further exacerbating crop damage. Managing plant hopper populations through integrated pest management approaches is essential to minimize economic losses and maintain crop productivity.

Management

  • Drain water from the field to flush out insects and tubular cases floating in the field.

  • Practice clean cultivation by timely weeding to reduce pest populations.

  • Adopt recommended spacing for planting.
