Insect Pest Management | Rice Hispa

Rice Hispa beetles feed on rice leaves, creating characteristic white streaks due to their feeding activity. Severe infestations can lead to extensive leaf damage, reducing photosynthetic efficiency and impacting plant growth and yield. Effective insect pest management strategies are necessary to control Rice Hispa populations and mitigate crop damage.

Management

  • Check up at the nursery stage. 

  • Clip affected leaves to prevent carryover of grub populations. 

  • Remove weeds from nearby fields, which serve as alternate hosts for the pest.
