Rice Yellow Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas)
Identification:
The fully grown larva is pale yellow in colour with orange-yellow head. It passes winter in rice stubbles and the destruction of rice stubbles also thus helps in reducing the incidence of this pest.
The moth has yellowish forewings with a single dark spot in the center of each wing. The moth measures 1.3 cm long and 3.2 across with stretched wings. Female moth has yellowish forewings with a single dark spot at their center while the male has numerous small brown spots.

Life Cycle:
A fully grown larva is formed in about 20- 40 days depending upon the climatic conditions. A developed larva measures about 20 mm in length and is white or yellowish-white in color. The larva makes an exit hole and pupates within the larval tunnel, usually at the base of the plant. Generally, two or three generations of this pest is completed during a single crop. Winter and heavy rains are inimical to this pest. Stem borer completes its life cycle in 40-45 days.

Nature of Damage:
Only larva causes damage to the crop. After hatching, the larva bores into to stem and damages it. Damage during the vegetative stage results in drying of the central shoot, a damage symptom called “dead heart”. Damage after flowering results in white empty straight panicles called “white-ears”. As dead-hearts and white ears harbor larvae, their collection and disposal help in reducing the incidence of this pest.
