litre per ha. or Ethiprole + Imidacloprid 150 m.l. or Dinotefuran 200 gram
dissolved in 500 litre water/ha and spray near base portion of the plants.
3. To control attack of blast in rice crop apply insecticide Tricyclozole @ 350 gram
/ ha. dissolved in 500 litter water.
4. If one adult of stem borer seen in one square meter then use Rynaxypyr
(Coragen) @ 150 gram dissolved in 500 litre water /ha. Collect the cluster of
eggs and destroy it.
