Brown Plant Hoppers in Rice and Correlation Factors

Cerda A

Attempts are being made in the Gujarat state to increase the rice production by the high yielding varieties, adopting intensive cultivation including double cropping in a year. Such efforts in turn increased pest intensities and losses caused by pests remained an important constraint to achieve high rice yields. Similarly, lack of pest resistant varieties, poor water management and lack of suitable pest and disease management strategies are the major constraints in rice production.
