Battling Brown Plant Hoppers: Solutions for Paddy Farmers

Brown plant hopper is a notorious pest that poses a significant threat, effective management strategies are crucial for protecting your paddy fields.

Symptoms:

Infested plants show hopper burn (dry, brown patches), circular patches of dryness, and sooty mould at the base due to honey dew secretion.

Cultural Control:

Maintain 30 cm plant spacing, keep fields weed-free, and practice crop rotation with early maturing varieties to reduce spread of pests.

Biological Control:

Release of natural egg predators like Cyrtorhinus lividipennis adult ( 200-250 bug /Ha ) during peak incidence at 10 days interval.

Physical Control:

Sweeping of nursery paddy seedling bed with net to prevent BPH and draining of rice field for 3- 4 days at infestation stage.

Chemical Control:

Apply recommended insecticides like Katyayani BPH Super, etc., at early stages of infestation. Rotate chemicals to prevent resistance.
