Management of leaf folder and stem borer on coarse and Basmati rice with organic and inorganic practices

An experiment on the management of rice leaf folder and stem borer in two rice varieties, viz., PR 116 and Basmati 386, was conducted in the organic field area of Department of Agronomy and Agromet, PAU, Ludhiana, by comparing three treatments, viz, organic, recommended and integrated practices. Organic practices and integrated practices (seven releases of Trichogramma chilonis and T. japonicum @ 100000 each at weekly interval starting 30 DAT) proved to be effective in the management of rice leaf folder and stem borer in both the rice varieties.
