Effect of Depth of Flooding on the Rice Water Weevil,Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus, and Yield of Rice

Abstract: The rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a semi-aquatic pest of rice and is the most destructive insect pest of rice in the United States. Adults oviposit after floods are established, and greenhouse studies have shown that plants exposed to deep floods have more eggs oviposited in leaf sheaths than plants exposed to a shallow flood. Experiments were conducted in three mid-southern states in the USA to determine if the depth of flooding would impact numbers of … Show more

“…On the other hand, a smaller water depth can reduce oviposition before plants become more tolerant to insect attack, reducing infestation and damages to roots . Furthermore, the water can reach temperatures that are lethal to eggs and larvae (Raksarart & Tugwell, 1975;Martins et al, 2009;Tindall et al, 2013).…”

“…The depth of irrigation water affects the population dynamics of rice water weevils (Martins et al, 2009;Tindall et al, 2013). Therefore, spatial distribution and larval density can be altered by soil irregularities and flatness, which includes upper and lower levees and the center of the area limited by both levees in sloped areas.…”

“…Both tactics had been shown previously to reduce weevil populations in small-plot field trials (46)(47)(48). To evaluate integrated use of these tactics, a split-plot experiment was conducted over two years, with three replications during both the years.…”

“…Several nonchemical tactics have been explored for management of the RWW. Manipulating flood depth has been suggested as a potential cultural tactic for management and shallow flood depth was found to reduce immature weevil densities in small plot experiments (Stout et al ., ; Tindall et al ., ). Also, evidence for differences in resistance to RWW among rice cultivars has been reported (Stout et al ., ).…”
