As pests are an important factor in reducing crop yields, pest control is measure preventing reductions yields. With the aim of ending use chemical pesticides, biological and genetically modified methods now considered more reasonable strategies. The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can produce crystal proteins that have specific toxicity to lepidopteran insects, so it has been applied as ...

The Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker), trivial name Yellow Stem Borer (YSB) is a serious pest contributing to significant yield loss rice. YSB detects host/mate cues through olfactory receptors (sensilla) on antennae, which critical for its survival, adaptability, and perpetuation. Though destructive pest, mechanism of olfaction poorly understood. Using scanning electron microscope, it attempted ...

The experiment was conducted at the research plot of Department Entomology Central Research Farm (CRF), Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj, during Kharif season 2022. laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications, seven treatments and untreated control were evaluated against, Scirpophaga incertulas i.e., Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% G @...

Rice leaffolder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) and yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) are the two dominant species among rice pests cause considerable damage in India. Various strategies have been employed for managing these insecticides as chemical control factors first line of defense but it has become difficult to manage due development resistance. Therefore, identificati...

To determine the effect of inorganic N fertilizer on the incidence of yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas Walker and on grain yield, yield attributes and bio-chemical characters of local paddy cultivar Tulaipanji, a field experiment for three consecutive years (2007-2009) was carried out by randomized block design in pesticide untreated field. Treatments comprised of seven different...
