Pest Control Alternatives for the <strong>Rainfed</strong> <strong>Rice</strong> Ecosystem<br />
Symptoms Control measure<br />
Grain partially chaffy and brittle or unfilled.<br />
Panicles show white appearance<br />
(hills and terrain).<br />
Dark brown or black oval or oblong spots<br />
on the glumes or whole surface of the<br />
grain (drought and eroded soil).<br />
Grain completely replaced by large<br />
spherical yellowish or orange body, which<br />
changes to powdery mass later<br />
(lowland and deepwater).<br />
Whole plant starts rotting from water level<br />
up to panicle. Plant is covered with<br />
mustard-like bodies which transform into<br />
cylindrical rods covered with white<br />
mycelium (lowland).<br />
Oblong or irregular lesions with brown<br />
margins and grey centers, or greyish brown<br />
on leaf sheath, especially covering the<br />
panicles. The panicles remain within the<br />
sheath or only partially emerged. White<br />
powdery fungal growth inside the rotten<br />
sheath (all ecosystems).<br />
Transplanted seedling showing bluish color<br />
with incurled central leaf. Plants rot<br />
completely, starting from the outer leaves. If<br />
these plants are cut and immersed in water,<br />
bacterial drops (ooze) appear at the cut ends<br />
(all ecosystems).<br />
Brownish yellow in colour and severe to<br />
mild stunting, reduced tillering (all<br />
ecosystems).<br />
Ufra nematode affects entire plant,<br />
especially panicle (lowland in Assam).<br />
Foliar spray with 100 g<br />
turmeric powder, 10 g<br />
sodium bicarbonate in 10<br />
liters water, 500-800 liters/ha.<br />
Apply 60 kg nitrogen/ha.<br />
Seed treatment with<br />
turmeric powder and<br />
sodium bicarbonate, 100<br />

Deep ploughing and<br />
burning of stubble in the<br />
field after harvest.<br />
Seed treatment with<br />
100 g turmeric powder +<br />
1 g asafoetida + 10 g<br />
sodium bicarbonate.<br />
Foliar spray with 2 kg<br />
fresh cowdung in 10 liters<br />
water.<br />
Soil application of 20 kg<br />
neem cake or foliar<br />
application of 1% neem<br />
oil spray or spray<br />
asofoetida + sodium<br />
bicarbonate.<br />
Turmeric powder spray and<br />
soil application, 20 kg neem<br />
cake/ha in deepwater<br />
conditions. Grow field-tolerant<br />
varieties such as Bazal 165<br />
and several Rayada cultivars.<br />
