Stemborer in Rice is one of the most common pests of paddy. Both male and female moths differ in size and have presence or absence of a black spot. The females are larger with a black spot which is absent in the smaller-sized male moths. They lay eggs that grow to become larvae and then pupa before they become adult moths.
The biggest symptom of Stemborer in Rice is the cluster of brown-colored eggs near the tip of the leaves. The larvae penetrate the central shoot resulting in drying of the shoot causing a ‘dead heart’. In an adult plant, the infestation causes drying of the panicle which is called ‘white ear’.
A wider variety of insecticides could be used for the Stemborer in Rice for better pest management. We hope that this information will be helpful to you.
