Occurrence of Pests and Diseases in Rice Seedbeds and Current Control Methods

Edible Gardening 0 views
During the rice seedbed stage, aphids, thrips, and damping-off disease mainly occur, harming the growth of rice seedlings. Adult and nymph rice thrips often gather at the leaf auricle, ligule, and inside the central leaf to cause damage; the affected parts first show small yellow-white spots, after which mottled white patches appear on the leaf surface. Affected seedlings recover green slowly, become stunted and fail to grow, appearing as if "stuck in the clump." Damping-off disease mostly occurs in wet (semi-dry) seedling nurseries and dry seedling nurseries, causing seedling death. Because temperatures in early to mid-April are unstable, aphids, thrips, and damping-off disease are prone to occur, affecting full, uniform, and strong seedlings. Agricultural technology centers of all townships and subdistrict offices are requested to strengthen water

Because temperatures in early to mid-April are unstable, aphids, thrips, and damping-off disease are prone to occur, affecting full, uniform, and strong seedlings. Agricultural technology centers of all townships and subdistrict offices are requested to strengthen investigation of pests and diseases during the rice seedling stage and control damping-off disease and other pests and diseases.

Control methods and pesticides:

1. Use 1 liang of 50% Kangculing per mu, diluted in 50 kg of water, and spray to control damping-off disease.

2. Use 1-1.5 liang of 10% imidacloprid per mu, diluted in 50 kg of water, and spray to control aphids and thrips.
