Insect Pest Management | Stem Borers
Stem borers are larvae that bore into rice stems, causing internal damage that weakens the plant's structural integrity. This can lead to lodging and whiteheads in mature plants, reducing grain yield and quality. Effective management strategies are essential to minimize stem borer damage and ensure robust rice crop development.
Management
Plough and destroy the stubbles after harvest.
Collect and destroy egg masses in nursery plants.
Clip off the leaf tips and burn them to kill eggs or larvae, preventing them from spreading into the main field.
