3 Tiers of CH Net ™ “ It is important to know and understand that not all the insects found in the Paddy fields are pests or harmful to paddy; on the contrary, many insects play a vital role in checking the population of the major paddy pests like Plant Hoppers and Stem Borers well under economic threshold limit. So it is important for the farmers to be familiar with the friendly insects by seeing their picture, and then in the filed whenever they see such insects they should not kill them by using insecticides, but help them to grow. “ In this way, the farmers will be able to CONTROL PESTS THROUGH NATURAL MEANS, SAVE MONEY ON PESTICIDES AND PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY, PESTICIDE FREE CROP. THE MAJOR FRIENDLY INSECTS ARE LISTED ON RIGHT SIDE. Friendly Insects of Paddy Technology Enabled Support fo Basmati farmers of Haryana-2009 IFFCO Kisan Sanchar Limited Contact Person: Dr. Ajay Singh (98xxxxxxxx) Crickets : ( A.longipennis ) Description: Brown Insect, Its head, thorax, wings, and legs are yellow Predator of: Leafhoppers, Planthoppers, eggs of armyworm, whorl maggot, stem borers, and leaffolders Grasshoppers : (C.longipennis ) Description: The green insect is distinguished from other grasshoppers by its long thread-like antennae. It is a large insect with slanted face. The thorax and abdomen are yellow Predator of: Leafhoppers, Planthoppers, eggs of armyworm, whorl maggot, stem borers, and leaffolders Wolf Spider : (P.pseudoannulata ) Predator of: Leafhoppers, planthoppers, moths, and butterflies The adults are usually found near the base of the plants. They prefer leafhoppers and planthoppers as prey. They feed on 5 to 15 prey daily. “ It is important to know and understand that not all the insects found in the Paddy fields are pests or harmful to paddy; on the contrary, many insects play a vital role in checking the population of the major paddy pests like Plant Hoppers and Stem Borers well under economic threshold limit.
