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 />

g/kg of seed.<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 />
