Management of major insect pests of rice in Tanzania - Review

Abstract: The major insect pests on rice in Tanzania are listed and described. They are from five orders (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera) and are discussed as stem borers, stem and root feeders, and leaf and panicle feeders. This review puts together the hitherto fragmented information available on the distribution, host range, biology/life-cycle and ecology, and the management measures of the insect pests of rice. Areas for future research are also mentioned.

“…Dipterans were highly represented by Diopsis spp. These stem borers can grow easily and even become sedentary in the event of continuous cropping in the same environment (Banwo, 2002;Togola et al, 2010), as reported in this study. Other important stem borers (lepidopterans) commonly found on rice in Benin such as S. calamistis, Chilo spp.…”

“…15 days, larval stage for 40 days, pupa for 11 days and adults live for two to six days (Nwilene et al, 2008). In Tanzania, three Lepidopteran stem borers have been reported as pest of economic importance in rice which includes C. partellus, M. separatella and S. calamistis (Banwo et al, 2002;Leornard & Rwegasira, 2015). Management of stem borers is an intelligent selection of management tactics by considering several factors such as economics, ecology and social factors (Korir et al, 2016).…”

“…It has been mentioned in Togo, Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau and Nigeria (Khan et al, 1991;Heinrichs, 2000). It is mentioned in Tanzania and Uganda where it extends in all the rice ecologies (Banwo, 2002;Weelar et al, 2016;Weelar et al, 2017). It was observed in Burundi and Rwanda where it regularly infects corn and rice fields (Tran, 1981).…”
