Abstracts |
The SCB, MRB, and RSB constitute the complex of stem-boring pests of rice in Louisiana. Infestations occur during tillering and ripening stage. Larvae of these borers injure the vascular tissue of the stems during reproductive stages of rice, thereby impairing maturation of the emerging panicles and grain development, and causing a typical symptom called ‘whitehead’. Whiteheads are whitish and empty panicles that result from these damaged tillers. Whitehead densities associated with stem borer infestations in rice not protected with insecticide can result in yield losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of seed treatments containing clothianidin (NipsIt INSIDE) and mycorrhiza (MycoApply EndoMaxx) against stem borer infestations in ‘CL111’, a conventional variety of rice, at the LSU AgCenter H. |
