An experiment was carried out in the field laboratory, Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University to find out the efficacy of different botanicals and chemical insecticides against rice stem borer during the period from July to December 2013. The treatments included Neem oil, Mahogany oil, combination of Neem and Mahogany oil, Bishkatali leaf extract, Lantana leaf extract, combination of Bishkatali and Lantana leaf extract, Convoy 25EC, Biesterthoate 40EC, Biesteren 5G and Diatone 10G. The efficacies of treatments were evaluated based on the percent dead heart and white head resulted by rice stem borer infestation at vegetative and reproductive stages, respectively. The efficacies of treatments were varied significantly against the rice stem borers. Among the selected botanicals, Neem + Mahogany oil followed by Bishkatali leaf extract performed best and Bishkatali + Lantana followed by Lantana leaf extract and leaf extract were least effective to reduce dead heart as well as white head at different counting. Similarly, combination of Neem and Mahogany oil gave the maximum yield among the selected botanicals. Diatone 10G showed the best performance to reduce percent dead and white head among the selected chemical insecticides and gave maximum yield among different chemical insecticides. On the other hand, Convoy 25EC was the least effective to control dead heart and white head infestation with yield. Therefore, Neem + Mahogony oil and Diatone 10G were the best to control rice stem borer and to increase the yield of rice grain.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 13(2): 183-189, December 2015

The yellow rice stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) is a prevalent pest in paddy fields worldwide. In Sarawak, a survey on pest of paddy carried out from 2009 to 2011 covering 166 paddy fields revealed that rice stem borers caused 11.4% of total paddy damage. In order to reduce the damage, identifying resistance paddy variety is crucial. The objective of this study was to screen Sarawak paddy landraces with resistance to S. incertulas. Twelve Sarawak paddy landraces were selected randomly for this study. Antixenosis resistance screening was performed in aquariums (60 x 28 x 33 cm). Three replications of one-month-old seedlings were randomly arranged in aquarium and exposed to adult S. incertulas. The number and position of egg mass on each plant were recorded. Egg mass abnormalities were also observed. For antibiosis, rice culms of two-month old seedlings from each landrace were infested with larvae. The length of surviving larvae from five rice culms was measured. The experiment revealed variations in landrace of preference for ovipositing. Among the twelve Sarawak paddy landraces, Kanowit was more preferred by S. incertulas for ovipositing in comparison to other paddy landraces suggesting susceptibility towards the pest. Abaxial leaf surface was the preferred oviposition site. There was no clear antibiosis response of the paddy landraces towards S. incertulas larvae in this study.

An experiment was carried out in the Entomology Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh to determine the efficacy of six botanicals and four chemical insecticides for controlling rice hispa, Dicladispa armigera during the period of July to December 2013. In conducting the experiment BR11 rice variety was selected where ten treatments namely six botanicals such as Neem oil, Mahogany oil, Mixture of Neem and Mahogany oil, Bishkatali leaf extract, Pitraj leaf extract and Mixture of Bishkatali and Pitraj leaf extract and four chemical insecticides Sevin85SP, Advantage20EC, Cup50EC, Kinalux 25EC  were laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Overall leaf infestation by rice hispa and infestation by adults and grubs separately were recorded at different time intervals. In addition to these, overall effect of pest infestation on the grain yield of rice was also examined. Among the six botanicals, Neem oil was most effective in controlling rice hispa, as overall leaf infestation was 21.20% and the infestation by adults and grubs were 14.43% and12.57%. On the other hand, among chemical insecticides, maximum efficacy was found under the treatment of Sevin 85SP where minimum leaf infestation was 9.22%, infestation by adults and grubs were 5.88% and 5.00% respectively. In case of yield, Sevin 85SP (4.62 ton/ha) showed the best efficacy in comparison to other treatments. Therefore, application of Sevin 85SP (3.46ml/L) and Neem oil (2ml/100ml) were examined as the best options in controlling rice hispa. So, it could be recommended to use Sevin 85 SP and Neem oil for the management of rice hispa.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 64-72, 2017

<p>Rice cultivation in tidal swampland of South Kalimantan has been practiced by farmers in the long period and influences the population of rice stem borer. This paper describes rice cultivation in tidal swampland of South Kalimantan and its impact on injury level caused by rice stem borer. Land preparation by slashing and spinning the rest of rice crop and then left it to rot, can thwart rice stem borer larvae to become imago (adult). Seeding by transplanting several times can kill stem borer larvae, while cutting the leaves of rice seedlings before planting can reduce egg population of the pest. Rice husk ash application is also able to reduce plant damage caused by stem borer. Another factor that contributes to the decreasing level of plant damage due to the pest is the presence of “purun tikus” (Eleocharis dulcis) weeds. Rice stem borers are more interested in laying eggs in the weed than that in rice plant resulted in low damage of rice planted adjacent to “purun tikus” area. Abundant population of natural enemy in “purun tikus” area also effectively suppresses the development of rice stem borer.</p><p>Keywords: Rice, cultivation, rice stem borer, tidal swampland</p><p align="center"><strong><br /></strong></p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p>Budi daya padi di lahan pasang surut Kalimantan Selatan sudah sejak lama dilakukan petani dan berpengaruh terhadap penurunan populasi dan tingkat serangan hama penggerek batang padi.

Penyiapan lahan dengan menebas sisa tanaman padi dan memintalnya kemudian membiarkannya membusuk dapat menggagalkan larva penggerek batang padi menjadi imago (dewasa). Pembibitan dengan cara tanam pindah yang dilakukan beberapa kali juga dapat mematikan larva penggerek batang padi. Sementara pemotongan daun bibit padi sebelum ditanam dapat mengurangi populasi kelompok telur hama tersebut. Pemberian abu sekam juga dapat menurunkan kerusakan tanaman akibat serangan hama tersebut. Faktor lain yang berkontribusi terhadap pengurangan tingkat kerusakan tanaman padi adalah keberadaan gulma purun tikus. Penggerek batang padi lebih tertarik meletakkan telurnya pada gulma tersebut dibandingkan pada padi sehingga kerusakan padi yang ditanam berdekatan dengan area purun tikus lebih rendah. Populasi musuh alami yang melimpah pada area purun tikus efektif menekan perkembangan hama penggerek batang padi.</p><p>Kata kunci: Padi, budi daya, penggerek batang padi, lahan rawa pasang surut<br /><br /></p>

This study was conducted to investigate the incidence of rice stem borer infestations and the species composition present in the selected rice fields. Data were collected between April 2017 and November 2018 across three locations, which include the upland rice field in Agbajege, Ogun state, rainfed lowland in Itoikin and Mangrove swamp in Igbogun, Lagos state, respectively. The incidence of rice stem borers was indicated by dead heart and white heads symptoms, while tillers were excised for rice stem borer identification and population. Results showed a high and low incidence of rice stem borers with no significant difference(p>0.05) at p= 0.29 and 0.37 between the early and late planting seasons in the rainfed lowland and upland rice fields respectively. Planting seasons were significant in the incidence of rice stem borers in mangrove swamp rice fields at p<0.05, p=0.01). This study showed that the predominant species of rice stem borers present in the three study sites were Chilo zacconius and Sesamia calamistis. C. zacconius was the most abundant species at 89% while S. calamistis was 11%. Rice stem borer populations were significantly higher at (p<0.05, p=0.000) in flooded zones while the highest rice stem borer populations were observed at the reproductive phase of the rice plants. Thisstudy showed that the planting seasons coincided with the peak period of the development of rice stem borers. Hence, conservation of natural enemies, monitoring and surveillance should be adopted in insect pest management in rice agroecosystems

Rice farmers in Tanzania continue to experience losses due to stem borers. However, the information on farmers’ knowledge and perceptions of rice stem borers is limited and farmers’ efforts on managing this insect have been ineffective. The aim of this study was to investigate constraints affecting rice production and farmers’ approaches of stem borer management in irrigated low land rice ecosystems in Tanzania. Research method: A focus group discussion with farmers using a semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The information collected included: farmers’ socio-economic profiles, farm characteristics, knowledge and perceptions of stem borers and their management practices.Farmers reported insect pests such as stem borers, white flies, leaf rollers and grasshoppers as major constraints of rice production. Other constraints reported were such as diseases, damage by birds, drought, weeds and lack of access to credit for purchasing inputs. Most of the farmers apply chemical insecticides against rice insect pests particularly stem-borers where number of health hazards have been reported. Very few farmers use cultural methods including crop residue disposal and split application of nitrogenous fertilizers for reduction of stem borer damages. The study revealed that, most farmers have limited knowledge on the recommended stem borer management practices and suggests that environmentally friendly pest management methods to be designed and implemented to minimize losses associated with rice stem borers.

An experiment was carried out to appraise the comparative efficacy of some biorationals against okra jassid at the Field Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during January to June 2016. The experiment was accomplished using three botanical oils (Neem oil@ 2ml/L, Mahogany oil @2ml/L & Karanja oil @2ml/L) and four microbial insecticides (Spinosad @ 1ml/ L, Beauveria bassiana @ 1 g/ L, Buprofezin @ 2ml/L, Emamectin benzoate @ 1g/L) along with control. Among various biorationals the mean number of nymph plant-1 varied significantly (p<0.01, p<0.05) after 1st, 2nd and 3rd spray. After 1st and 2nd spray, Beauveria showed the best results both at 3 DAT (0.00 & 2.33, respectively) while after 3rd spray Mahogany (0.00) performed best at 3 DAT compared to other treatments including control (4.00). In number of adult plant-1 effectiveness was reflected on Neem (0.66) among various biorationals at 3 DAT after 2nd spray. Similarly, at 5 and 7 DAT, the lowest number of adult was observed at Emamectin (1.66, 1.00), respectively. It revealed that Neem and Emamectin had strong efficacy in controlling okra jassid in comparison to their control (7.33, 11.33), respectively. After 3rd spray, the efficacy of different bioratioanls in managing okra jassid was significant (p<0.01). The Buprofezin showed the best performance both at 3 and 5 DAT (0.66 & 1.66, respectively). Similarly, the number of curled leaf plant-1 varied significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01) after both 1st 2nd and 3rd spray than the control. The lowest number of curled leaf plant-1 was observed in Neem (0.66) treated plants at 3 DAT after 2nd spray. This data revealed that the Neem had strong effect on okra jassid management. The number of curled leaf plot-1 also varied significantly (p<0.01) after 2nd and 3rd spray than the control. The highest infestation was always found in control treatment. The results indicated that Beauveria bassiana had strong efficacy in controlling okra jassid followed by Neem oil, Buprofezin and Emamectin benzoate in comparison to control. Therefore, it might be concluded that these biorational insecticides could be used as eco-friendly management strategy for okra jassid and can be incorporated in developing IPM programme for jassid.

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.

Effects Of Radiation

Germ cells from the rice stem borer Chilo suppresalis, were examined by light and electron microscopy. Damages to organelles within the germ cells were observed. The mitochondria, which provide the cell with metabolic energy, were seen to disintegrate within the germ cell. Lysosomes within the germ cell were also seen to disintegrate. The subsequent release of hydrolytic enzymesmay be responsible for the destruction of organelles within the germ cell. Insect spermatozoa were seen to lose the ability to move because of radiation treatment. Damage to the centrioles, one of which is in contact with the tail, may be involved in causing sperm immobility.
