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.

Experiments were conducted at the net house and laboratory of the Entomology Division of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) to determine the effectiveness of four light sources for light trapping, and performance of three predators for controlling brown plant hopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stal.).The light intensity and sources were 30-50 lux (candle light), 80-100 lux (kerosene lamp), 180-200 lux (bulb) and 380-400 lux (energy saving lamp). The predators, ladybird beetle, carabid beetle and wolf spider, Light traps of 380-400 lux from energy saving lamp showed maximum effect in reducing the pest brown planthopper. Other light sources had little effect on brown planthopper. Light source of 30-200 lux reduced only a few brown planthopper. The predator wolf spider, Lycosa pseudoannulata consumed all the prey individuals of Nilaparvata lugens in three days exposure period indicating its high predation potentiality. Performance of ladybird beetle, Micraspis discolor was moderate and the carabid beetle, Ophionea indica was poor in controlling brown planthopper. The findings of these experiments indicate that light trapping with a source of 380-400 lux, predation by Lycosa pseudoannulata are the promising options in reducing brown planthopper population successfully and it could be an important part of IPM that is essential for the sustainable management of this deleterious brown planthopper in rice cultivation.

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.

The rice yellow stemborer (Scirpophaga incertulas) is one of main pests on rice which may attack at all growth stages. The weather was considered one of influencing factors against its infestation. Therefore, this research was conducted to recognize microclimate factors affecting the infestation of S. incertulas. The experiment was carried out in Institute for Pest Forecasting, Jatisari Karawang from January-April 2017. The investigation was arranged in Factorial of Blocked Randomized Design with four repetitions and  combinations of treatment factors, i.e. planting distance (conventional and jajar legowo 2 : 1) and depth of puddle (5 cm, 0 cm, and intermittent). The observation was performed from one to 12 weeks after planting. At the same time, three weather factors (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall) were observed in four West Java regencies i.e. in Bekasi, Karawang, Subang and Indramayu. The results showed that the conventional and the jajar legowo schemes are influenced by the micro air temperature.  Both planting distance and depth of water puddle treatment were influenced by the micro air temperature. Microclimate factors which influenced the intensity of infestation were air temperature, humidity, water temperature, and light intensity. The weather factor showing effects  in Bekasi, Karawang, and Indramayu was rainfall. However, the three weather factors did not affect on the acreage of pest infestation in Subang.

Impact of ecological engineering on the type and population of pests, natural enemies, and yields of the rice. This study was performed to investigate the impact of the ecological engineering in the rice field on the crop damage caused by yellow stem borer, including it’s type and population as well as its natural enemies and the yields of the rice. The study was conducted in farmer’s fields in Subang District in the dry and the wet seasons. The research was arranged using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The observation was conducted on the crop damage caused by yellow stem borer, the type and the population of pests insect, its predator, and parasitoid as well as yields of the rice. The planting of flowering plants and crops showed inconsistent effect on the population of brown planthoppers, white-backed planthoppers, and rice black bug. Moreover, it also not significantly impact the yellow stem borer. The planting of flowering plants and crops did not affect the rice yields. The parasitization level of the parasitoid was in ranged of 47.32–50.47% (dry season) and 36.37–53.92% (wet season). The neutral insect population was dominant at the beginning of planting (11–1743), meanwhile at the maximum tillering until the harvest was dominated by predators (9.33–131.33). The parasitoids were relatively contrasted on each stage of the rice plant.

Rice crop is affected by many insect pests like White Stem Borer, Yellow Stem Borer and Pink Stem Borer. Rice stem borers are main pests affecting rice crop from nursery to physiological maturity including them in key pests. These studies had been carried out to discover the encouraging and antagonistic boundaries of weather parameters for the rice stem borers. As per result of studies, the population was recorded higher from mid-March to 1st week of May and then it escalated again from 2nd week of August to a maximum in September in case of Yellow Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulus) and White Stem Borer (Scirpophaga innotata) of rice during the both years 2017-2018; while in case of Pink Stem Borer population recorded from mid-September to the last week of April in 2017 and lasted till 4th week of May 2018. On evaluating the weather conditions specially temperature and relative humidity, it was detected that insect trap catches noted inside a certain range of temperature that varies from 18-35°C in case of White Stem Borer and 17-34°C for Yellow stem borer of rice. Extreme catches were documented in April and September inside a temperature range of 26-32°C considering it ideal series of temperature for insect light trap catches and activity of yellow and white stem borer. However, in case of pink stem borer above 32°C no catch was observed.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of abiotic factors such as temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, sunshine hours and rainfall on the distribution and relative abundance of stem borer species in rice ecosystem. Methodology: Seasonal incidence of stem borer species was monitored using light trap catches and were correlated with the weather parameters. The relative abundance of stem borer species during Kharif and Rabi was estimated based on light trap catches and larval incidence. Results: Seasonal incidence revealed the occurrence of three stem borer species (yellow stem borer, pink stem borer and dark headed borer) populations in rice ecosystem. Yellow stem borer was found to dominate in rice ecosystem during Kharif, (80.61%) whereas during Rabi, pinkstem borer was found to be dominant (72.60%) than yellow stem borer (21.92%) and dark headed borer (5.48%). Weather parameters such as temperature, rainfall and wind velocity negatively influenced the occurrence of stem borer species in rice, whereas relative humidity and sunshine hours had positive effect. Regression analysis revealed the increased effect of abiotic factors such as temperature, relative humidity and wind velocityon the population of pink stem borer against yellow stem borer and dark headed borer. Interpretation: The present study reveals that, the change in weather parameter during seasons, such as temperature (25 - 27°C), relative humidity (69 - 80 %) and wind velocity (3 - 4 km hr-1) increased the fitness of pink stem borer species population than yellow stem borer and dark headed borer species in rice ecosystem, which was evidenced by the occurrence and relative abundance of pink stem borer population during Kharif 2018 and Rabi 2019 respectively.
