Other novel pest control techniques (Insect Sex Pheromones)

Contributed by rkmp.drr on 27 Aug, 2011

1. Semio-chemicals are chemicals involved in communication

among the insect species either for mating, aggregation or other gregarious activities.

2.  Among the semio-chemicals, sex pheromones play a vital role in intra-specific communication, particularly for mating between male and female insects.

Biological Control of Pests in Rice

Contributed by rkmp.drr on 27 Aug, 2011

1. Exploitation of biological agents such as parasites,

predators and pathogens is a key component of rice IPM and can be a promising alternative to ecologically disruptive chemical control measures.


2. Inundative or inoculative releases of the egg parasitoid, Trichogramma japonicum ashmead against yellow stem borer and T. chilonis Ishii against leaf folder are effective

Chemical Control

Contributed by rkmp.drr on 26 Aug, 2011

1. Despite the drawbacks involved in insecticide

usage in rainfed rice systems, the farmers readily use pesticides in times of sudden pest outbreaks. 

2. During such times, there is a need to choose the right insecticide formulation and dose as well as suitable application technique based on pest biology and crop phenology. 

3. Further, the potential environmenta

Appropriate cultural methods

Contributed by rkmp.drr on 26 Aug, 2011

Cultural practices are normal agronomic practices

followed for increasing crop productivity and their appropriate manipulation can effectively prevent the insect pest populations from causing losses to the crop.

• Early and synchronous planting: Wherever possible, suitable alteration in planting dates

Growing resistant varieties

Contributed by rkmp.drr on 26 Aug, 2011

1. Resistant cultivars are the most effective,

economical and practical means of encountering the pest problems and compatible with all components.

2.  In India, among the 710 commercial rice varieties released, 51 varieties are resistant to gall midge, 25 to brown planthopper, 3 to stem borer and green leafhopper and whitebacked planthopper.
