- Abstract
The rice hoppers are considered an important rice pest in Asia. As phloem-feeders, they can cause loss to rice growth development and their population abundance is thought to be influenced by rice growth stages. The field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Farm, B.H.U., Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India during Kharif 2018 and 2019 to study the effect of crop growing stage on the population of rice hoppers. Weekly sampling was conducted through visual counting of pest population and use of a sweeping net during the seeding, tillering, booting, flowering and ripening stages of the crop. Rice hoppers population abundance was found to be significantly different and positively correlated with rice growth stages (p < 0.05). Planthopppers were most abundant during the maximum tillering to booting stage, while the abundance of leafhoppers peaked during the booting to flowering stage of rice.
