Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is used as staple food for the overwhelming majority of the world’s population. Rice production hampered mostly by stem borers like, yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) pink stem borer (Sesamia inference), dark headed stem borer (Chilo polychrysus), stripped stem borer (Chilo suppressalis). For minimize the infestation farmers use different resistant rice cultivars like, TKM 6, PTB 10, Su Yai 20, Mudgo, DV 139, Taitung 16, Gontra Bidhan 3, MTU-2020, IR 50, NDR-97, etc. against stem borer population. For controlling deleterious pest population farmers mostly use insecticide which exhibit good results than any botanicals against rice pests. Other techniques including using microbial pesticides, other biocontrol agents, use of pheromones or allomones, staggered planting, synchronized planting, removal of infected leaves, steams with pruning shears, using of trap crop, etc. are effective for control rice pests. But indiscriminate use of chemical insecticides results in great economic loss with destabilizing of biodiversity and resulting cross resistance against insecticides. So, pest population ecology based sustainable management strategies of such pest species is very essential for climate smart pest management (CSPM) as well as climate smart agriculture (CSA) of rice and other crops in the near future.
