Insect Management and Insecticide Termination in Rice

Presented by: Nick Bateman, Extension Entomologist, University of Arkansas

Presented by: Chase Floyd, Graduate Student, University of Arkansas

Multiple studies were conducted to determine the efficacy of insecticides for rice water weevil in flooded rice, as well as rice billbug in in furrow irrigated rice. These tests show that combinations of insecticide seed treatments were the most consistent control options for both of these pests. Assays were also conducted on rice stink bugs to determine tolerance levels to Lambda cyhalothrin along with multiple in-field efficacy trials.
