Studies were conducted on the status of insect-pests and natural enemies of direct seeded rice (DSR) in comparison with puddled transplanted rice (PTR) during rabi and kharif in 2013-14. The rice leaf folder and yellow stem required both the seasons. Maximum leaf folder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) (13.03%) damage and yellow stem borer damage (13.49%) of white ears was recorded during last week of October and second week of November in DSR under unprotected situation respectively. While sucking pests population mainly green leafhopper incidence was comparatively high in PTR (3.29 and 4.92/hill) also plant hoppers incidence (BPH and WBPH) (28.90 and 18.44 adults/hill) under unprotected situation during two seasons respectively. Population of predators at both the season remained high throughout the study period in PTR than the DSR except

Rice is the cereal grain that feeds half the planet. Rice fields are economically important as well as ecologically valuable. Rice fields are one of the biggest ecosystems that can be found in the tropics, including diverse insect pests and their natural enemies. In this view, rice varieties were sown in experimental plots of Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Chidambaram. The values are found significant at 5% level. To monitor the pest and natural enemies by using net sweeping and yellow pan trap method was used. The results showed that the maximum number of yellow stem borer was observed in the direct-seeded rice variety of CR Dhan 209 (7.33) and the leaf folder population was maximum in the direct-seeded rice variety of CR Dhan 204 (7.33). The peak population of grasshopper and green leafhopper was recorded in the transplanted rice variety of CR Dhan200 (11.33), CR Dhan 209 (8.00). The values were found significant at 5% level. The maximum number of Braconidae was observed in direct-seeded rice variety of CR Dhan 205 (3.66), and Ichneumonidae was recorded the highest number of direct-seeded and transplanted rice in the variety of CR Dhan 202 (3.00). The peak population of Trichogrammatidae was recorded in direct-seeded rice of CR Dhan 207 (3.66). The presence of Platygastridae was high in the transplanted rice variety of CR Dhan 201 (8.66), respectively. Among the rice ecosystems, more insect pests and crop damage were noticed in direct-seeded rice more than the transplanted rice.

Incidence of parasitism and predation of yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas, eggs was monitored in transplanted and direct seeded rice during March, 1984, to February, 1985. Monthly planting using the two crop establishment techniques allowed comparison of egg parasitism and predation at 29, 70, and 91 days after seeding. Parasites which emerged from yellow stem borer eggs were Tetrastichus schoenobii Ferriere, Telenomus rowani (Gahar) and Trichogramma spp. The incidence of parasitism was higher at 29 days after seeding and decreased with crop age in both methods of crop establishment. Contrarily, there was a trend toward more egg mass predation as the crop aged, especially in direct seeded rice. In general, the incidence of parasitism was higher in transplanted rice.

Studies were conducted to record the abundance of arthropod insect pests and natural enemies in rice fields as influenced by rice growth stages and neighboring crops at the experimental farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Dumki, Patuakhali during 2012 in Boro rice season following randomized complete block design. Results indicated that rice-tree habitat showed the highest abundance of leafhoppers (100.75) followed by cricket (16.50), grasshoppers (15.25) and stink bugs (15.25). The lowest abundance of all insect pests was in rice-sesame habitat. No significant differences were found on the abundance of rice bug, rice hispa and stem borer populations. At seedling stage, the highest abundance of leafhopper (94.25) was recorded followed by grasshopper (47.00) and stink bug (26.50) while the lowest was stem borer (0.57) and rice hispa (6.00). At early tillering stage, maximum number of grasshopper (17.25) was recorded followed by cricket (7.00). At maximum tillering stage, the highest abundance of leafhoppers (122.5) was obtained followed by rice bug (62.00) and the lowest was the stink bug (7.00). At panical initiation stage, the highest abundance of rice bug (334.00) was recorded which was followed by leafhoppers (65.25) and the lowest was the cricket (15.75). No population of rice hispa and stem borer was recorded at maximum tillering and panical initiation stages. In case of natural enemies, the highest abundance of lady bird beetle (45.27) and damselfly (16.73) was found in rice-rice habitat. The highest abundance of ichneumonid wasp (57.53) was in rice-tree habitat and ground beetle (28.80) was in rice-sesame habitat. No significant differences were observed on the abundance of dragonfly, spider and dipteran fly among different habitats. Among different growth stages of rice plant, significantly the highest abundance of lady bird beetle was recorded at maximum tillering stage. The highest abundance of ichneumonid wasp and ground beetle was recorded at seedling stage. The highest abundance of damselfly, spider and dipteran fly was at early tillering stage. No significant difference was observed on the abundance of dragonfly among different rice growth stages.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 42(2): 309-319, June 2017

Rice plant is attacked by many insect-pests of which yellow stem borer (dead heart at vegetative stage and white ear head at reproductive stage) and leaf folder are considered as prime devastator, responsible for major economic loss. To combat this problem, resistant varieties of rice are required for better production as well as better productivity. Host plant resistance is very much effective in integrated pest management (IPM) system, where negligible pesticidal hazard is present as well as environmental safety, low cost farming by without or minimum pesticide application and proper identification of resistant varieties for selection as parent in crossing programme to develop resistant varieties in future. The 78 rice varieties were screened out against Scirpophaga incertulas (yellow stem borer) and Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (rice leaf folder) of rice during Kharif, 2010-2012 at Rice Research Station, Chinsurah, Hooghly, under Government of West Bengal. The experiment was carried out to determine the level of resistance in early, mid-early, medium and late duration rice varieties, and shallow and semi-deep rice varieties. The pest infestation level was determined by counting dead heart, white ear head and damaged/folded leaves. The experimental results revealed that the early duration variety viz. Narendra 97 and IR 50, the mid-early duration variety i.e. IR 64 and IET 17904 proved resistant against both yellow stem borer (dead heart) and leaf folder. The medium duration variety, Ranjit was highly resistant against both yellow stem borer (dead heart) and leaf folder, and the variety, Pratiksha showed a fair degree of resistance against both yellow stem borer and leaf folder; while Jarava, the late duration variety exhibited high degree resistance against yellow stem borer (dead heart and white ear head). Besides, the varieties, Sashi and Giri recorded very low level of infestation of both lepidopteran pests while shallow and semi-deep variety such as Sashi was also considered resistant against the noxious pests.

The relative abundance of different stem borer species and their natural enemies with interaction effects were studied at three growth stages of irrigated Boro rice at Madhupur under the district of Tangail, Bangladesh during January to April, 2013. Five stem borer species viz; Yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas), Pink stem borer (Sesamia inferens), Dark headed stem borer (Chilo polyhcrysus), Stripped stem borer (Chilo suppressalis), White stem borer (Scirpophaga innotata), and nine different natural enemies were collected from the rice fields and recorded. The population of stem borers and natural enemies was highest in tillering stage and lowest in seedling stage. The relative abundance of stem borer species under investigation showed ranking order; yellow stem borer >dark headed stem borer>pink borer>white borer>stripped stem borer and natural enemies as ladybird beetle >long jawed spider>wolf spider>damselfly>carabid beetle>green mirid bug>lynx spider>dragon fly>ear wig. Populations of all five stem borers were positively correlated with ladybird beetle, wolf spider, long jawed spider, lynx spider, damsel fly, dragon fly, green mirid bug and negatively correlated with carabid beetle and earwig.J.

ABSTRACTRecolonization of Natural Enemies after Insecticide Application in Rice Planting AreaThe study to assess recolonization of natural enemies after insecticide application in rice planting area was carried out in the wet season of 2013 at Karawang Regency. The application of several insecticides of rynaxypyr, fipronil, dinotefuran, pymetrozine, imidacloprid, and BPMC was conducted when brown plant hopper population was rising and yellow stem borer flight was occurring. Observation of natural enemies was carried out on 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 21 days after application (DAA) using sweep net for 4 swings per plot. The results showed that spiders were relatively safe to the rynaxypyr and fipronil insecticides with hampered recolonization index (HRI) of very light and light where recolonization occurred on 1 DAA. All tested insecticides highly affected Telenomus rowani with HRI of heavy to very heavy that this parasitoid recolonized at 7 DAA. On the other hand, all insecticides showed low influence on the recolonization of Tetrastichus schoenobii with HRI from unhampered to light hamper and the recolonization occurred on 1 DAA. The effect of rynaxypyr, fipronil, imidacloprid and BPMC application on Oligosita sp. and Anagus sp. recolonization was categorized to be low with HRI of light hamper that the recolonization happened at 1 DAA and 5 DAA, respectively. The insecticides of fipronil and BPMC were considered to slightly hamper the chironomid with the light value of the HRI and the chironomid recolonized at 1 DAA on fipronil and 3 DAA on BPMC.Keywords: Effect of insecticides, Recolonization of natural enemy, RiceABSTRAKPenelitian rekolonisasi musuh alami setelah aplikasi insektisida di pertanaman padi dilakukan pada musim hujan 2013 di Kabupaten Karawang.

Studies were carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Seethampeta in Andhra Pradesh during the kharif season for three consecutive years starting from 2017 to 2019 on the population dynamics of insect pests occurring in paddy and also to assess the influence of weather parameters on insect pests. The insect pests observed in the light trap catches were, Yellow stem borer, Gall midge, Leaf folder, Green leafhopper, Plant hopper (BPH/WBPH) and Grasshoppers. The light trap catches of rice insect pests were recorded at weekly interval during 32nd Standard Meteorological Week (SMW) to 52nd Standard Meteorological Week (SMW) and the data were correlated with the weather parameters. The results revealed that more number of adults of Yellow stem borer were noticed during the year 2019 from 45th to 48th SMW and the correlation studies revealed that that maximum temperature, minimum and maximum relative humidities had significant positive influence and regression value of R2 (743, 638 and 726 during 2017, 2018 & 2019). The population of gall midge was negligible during the year 2017 and 2018. Whereas, in 2019 peak was notice during 38th SMW (15 No’s) maximum relative humidity has positive relation with increase in the gall midge population. Leaf folder adults were trapped more in the light traps during the year 2019 with peak catches of 11.00 No’s on 42nd SMW and were positively correlated with maximum temperature, minimum and maximum relative humidities. Similarly, leafhopper, brown leaf hopper, grass hoppers were positively correlated with the relative humidity.

With the recent innovations in the field of ecological pest management,conservation and enhancement of biological diversity at any rice agro-ecosystemshas received considerable attention. The composition and abundance ofaboveground arthropods was assessed on upland rice fields in Matalam, NorthCotabato, Southern Mindanao, Philippines. Sampling and monitoring was doneusing malaise trapping, sweep netting and direct counting techniques. A total of29 arthropod species belonging to 21 families in nine orders were documented.The collected samples were comprised of 40% insect pests, 53% predators and7% parasitoids. The three most abundant insect pests were rice bug (Leptocorisaoratorius), rice seedling maggot (Atherigona oryzae), and pink stemborer (Sesamia inferens). The predators are dominated by lady bird beetle (Micraspis spp.), social wasp (unknown) and long-jawed spider (Tetragnatha maxillosa). Ichneumonids,Braconids and Tachinids, though in smaller numbers, were present throughoutthe cropping season. More importantly, the study reported the presence of four rice stem borer species – Scirpophaga innotta, Scirpophaga incertulas, Sesamia infere and Chilo suppressalis and two rice grain bug species – Paraeucosmetuspallicornis and Elasmolomus sordidus in Matalam. The occurrence, compositionand abundance of insect pests and associated natural enemies vary with ricegrowth and developmental stages. The negative Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r= -0.31) between the insect pests and natural enemies was attributed to effectivecultural management practices which have been developed through decades ofsubsistence upland rice farming.Keywords: Ecology, aboveground arthropods, upland rice agro-ecosystem, sampling andmonitoring, Philippines
