Groups of insects that damage plants in similar ways, like chewing leaves or attacking stems.

The scientific name for the Rice Ear Cutting Caterpillar.

The scientific name for the Rice Swarming Caterpillar.

The scientific name for the Rice Caseworm.

The process where a pest's eggs hatch, develop through different stages, and eventually become adults ready to lay more eggs.

The specific plant or plants that a pest feeds on.

The visible signs of damage caused by a pest to a plant.

Various approaches used to control insect pests in rice fields, including chemicals, natural enemies, and crop rotation.

This insect feeds on the rice plant's stems, leading to wilting and eventually death.

This pest sucks sap from the rice plant's leaves and stems, causing stunted growth and yield loss.

This insect infects the rice plant's developing seeds, causing them to become unviable, leading to significant yield loss.

This insect feeds on the rice leaves, creating holes and causing damage to the plant.

This insect feeds on rice leaves, damaging the plant and causing stunted growth.

This insect feeds on the roots of the rice plant, causing damage and weakened growth.

This insect infects the rice plant's stems, causing them to weaken and eventually break.

This insect feeds on the rice plant's developing seeds, causing them to become damaged or unviable.

A pest that lays eggs on flower buds, green pods, shoots, and leaves. It goes through egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages.

A small, green insect that feeds on the sap of plants, causing stunted growth and leaf discoloration.

A type of insect that feeds on plant tissues, causing leaf damage and holes.

A method of controlling pests by using natural enemies, like ladybird beetles and spiders.

A method of pest control that involves using chemical pesticides to kill pests.

A method of pest management that involves using a combination of different approaches, like chemical pesticides, natural enemies, and cultural practices.

A type of insect that can cause significant damage to crops by feeding on leaves, stems, and fruits.

The scientific name for the Rice Ear Head Bug.

A common symptom of Rice Ear Head Bug damage, where rice grains are smaller than normal.

A symptom of Rice Ear Head Bug damage, where the rice grains have an irregular shape.

A symptom of Rice Ear Head Bug damage, where rice grains have dark spots or uneven coloring.

A pest that damages rice plants by feeding on leaves and shoots, and can also cut off ear heads.

The scientific name for a specific type of grasshopper known to damage rice.

A key characteristic of the Hieroglyphus banian grasshopper, which is greenish-yellow with three black lines on its upper side.

Insects like crickets make holes in leaves, stems, seeds, and young rice plants. Heavy damage can lead to dead heart, a condition that prevents the plant from growing properly.

Caterpillars that hatch before the rice plant flowers cause minor damage to the tassels. However, they can cause significant damage when they move to the cobs.

Pink borer larvae burrow into the rice stem, resulting in a condition called dead heart which prevents the plant from growing properly.

Maize shoot fly larvae feed on the young rice shoots, leading to a condition called dead heart where the plant's growth is stunted.

These larvae are slender, hard-bodied, and resemble wire. They feed on the germ of corn kernels, hollowing them out and causing gaps in the rows.

Rotating crops with Alfalfa or plants high in glucosinolates can reduce wireworm populations. Additionally, drying the field and plowing during summer can help control these pests.

Entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi such as Beauveria and Metarhizium are effective in controlling wireworm populations.

Using different pesticides in each application can help prevent pests developing resistance to the chemicals.

The adult stage of the Linseed gallfly is a small, orange fly. The larvae are whitish and legless.

Linseed gallfly larvae feed on the flower buds, causing them to develop into galls instead of pods, leading to no seed production.

The Linseed gallfly lays 29-103 eggs in the folds of the flax flowers, and they hatch into larvae, which feed on the buds and eventually form pupae in the soil.

The female Linseed gallfly lays smooth, transparent eggs in the folds of flowers or tender buds, either singly or in groups of 3-5. Eggs hatch in 2-5 days.

Linseed gallfly larvae are initially transparent with a yellow patch on their abdomen. They go through four larval stages and become deep pink, measuring about 2 mm long.

After feeding on the buds, the mature Linseed gallfly larvae drop to the ground, pupate in the soil, and emerge as adults after 4-9 days.

The Flea beetle is a small, black, blue, or metallic gray beetle with an elongated narrow body. Its larvae are dirty white with pale white heads.

Flea beetles can attack almost all cruciferous plants, including mustard, radish, turnip, cabbage, and cauliflower.
