Pest Behaviour
The Asiatic Rice Borer (Chilo supressalis) is a lepidopteran whose life cycle has an estimated duration of 10-15 days, and can develop 2 and even 3 generations in the crop cycle, depending on the location. The first generation appears between April and June, coinciding with sowing. The second and third generations develop parallel to flowering and the appearance of the rice grain, respectively.
The larvae do not usually move, so the damage is concentrated in small regions. Adults live inside the rice culm and feed on materials inside the culm. The second and third generations affect the cane with flower/grain, causing extensive damage to the crop.
