“…This might explain the high infestation of rice stem borer since the environmental condition was favorable for the rice stem borer infestation. The research done by R.K. Murali Baskaran also showed the influence of environmental factors on the pest infestation (Baskaran et al, 2019). Along with the environmental factors, the concentration used of pesticides also might be one of the reasons for the pest incidence.…”

Since chemical pesticides have a variety of short- and long-term social, economic, and environmental repercussions, research was conducted in Baniyani, Jhapa, Nepal from January to July 2021 to manage the Yellow Stem Borer (YSB) of rice in an environmentally responsible manner. The research followed the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and seven treatments using the spring rice variety Chaite-2. The seven treatments used were spinosad 45% SC, Bacillus Thuringensis var krustaki + saccharopolyspora spinosad 15% SC, Azadiractin 0.3%, Chinaberry (Bakaino) leaf extract, Mugwort (Titepati) leaf extract, Metarhizium anisopliae and untreated plot. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the treatments, the number of dead heart and white head symptoms were counted at various time intervals, namely 7, 15, and 21 days after spraying (DAS). At the vegetative and reproductive stages of rice, the rice stem borer causes the symptoms known as "dead heart" and "white head," respectively. The eco-friendly insecticides significantly altered how the rice stem borer was affected. Among the insecticides, Spinosad 45%SC caused the highest reduction in dead hearts and whiteheads. Spinosad 45% SC treated plot showed highest yield (7.5tha-1). Given its effectiveness and eco-friendliness, spinosad could be regarded as the most successful eco-friendly insecticide for controlling the rice pest known as the Rice Stem Borer.

“…The larvae bore into the young rice plant, causing the central shoot to die, ultimately resulting in the death of the plant; hence, this symptom is called a "dead heart". In the reproductive stage, feeding damage by yellow stem borers results in forming a "white ear" where the individual grains do not get filled and the earheads remain chaffy and white, thus leading to direct yield losses (Baskaran et al, 2019). Therefore, the timely management of this notorious pest is needed to meet the increasing global demand for rice.…”

Rice is the major staple food in Jharkhand in India and is threatened by various biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the insect pests that imperil the rice cultivation in Jharkhand, the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas Wlk.) is one of the most notorious ones. The present investigation was conducted in Kharif 2018 to study the bioefficacy of certain chemical insecticidal treatments against yellow stem borers in rice measured in terms of mean values of dead heart (% DH) and white ear (%WE). Ten insecticidal treatments, namely, T1 - Flubendiamide 240 SC + Thiacloprid 240 SC (combination product) @ 200 ml/ha, T2 - Flubendiamide 240 SC + Thiacloprid 240 SC (combination product) @ 250 ml/ha, T3 - Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @150 ml/ha, T4 - Flubendiamide 480 SC @ 50 ml/ha, T5 - Rynaxypyr 20 SC @150 ml/ha, T6 - Fipronil 80 WG @ 65 g/ha, T7 - Dinotefuran 20 SG @ 200 g/ha, T8 - Fipronil 0.3 GR followed by Chlorpyriphos 20 EC @2000 ml/ha, T9 - Chlorpyriphos 20 EC@ 2000 ml/ha and T10 - untreated control were taken for the experiment. The results showed that two of the insecticidal treatments,namely T2- flubendiamide 240 SC + thiacloprid 240 SC @ 250 ml/ha (2.07% DH and 2.30% WE) and T4 - flubendiamide 480 SC @ 50 ml/ha (1.89% DH and 2.49% WE), were at par with each other. They performed better than all the other treatments, suggesting that using these two newer insecticidal treatments could provide all-around protection for the rice crop against rice yellow stem borer in terms of both dead heart and white ear.
