abstract striped rice stem borer, chilo suppressalis walker (lepidoptera: pyralidae) is a major pest of rice in northern iran. regarding to the importance of population dynamics studies in pest management programs, the population fluctuations of c. suppressalis was studied in central part of mazandaran province (rice research centre of mazandaran) during 2005-2006. the male and female moths wer...

Rice (Oryza staiva L.) is one of the world's most important crops, providing a stable food for nearly half of the global population (FAO 2004). Almost 90% of the rice is growing and consumed in Asia. The striped stem borer (Chilo suppressalis Walker) is one of the most important rice pests in Asia. Rice stem borers cause damage to the crop at the larval stages. Larvae borer in to the plant stem...

in sustainable agriculture, using of resistant plants is one of the best methods for integrated pest management. resistance of 140 rice promising lines against striped stem borer was evaluated in two planting date in the field under natural infections in sari agricultural science and natural resources university during 2008-2009. this study carried out as a factorial experiment in randomized co...

Transgenic rice to control stem borer damage is under development in China. To assess the potential of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenes in stem borer control, the toxicity of five Bt protoxins (Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ba and Cry1Ca) against two rice stem borers, Sesamia inferens (pink stem borer) and Chilo suppressalis (striped stem borer), was evaluated in the laboratory by feeding n...

rice is among the most important food crops throughout the world. hybrid rice benefits from about a 30 percent yield advantage over the conventional pure line varieties and this phenomenon can play an important role in fighting world hunger. to diminish the damage of rice pests, development of insect pest management strategies in hybrid rice is necessary. this study was aimed at evaluating the ...

Insecticidal activity and receptor binding properties of Bacillus thuringiensis toxins to yellow and striped rice stem borers (Sciropophaga incertulas and Chilo suppresalis, respectively) were investigated. Yellow stem borer (YSB) was susceptible to Cry1Aa, Cry1Ac, Cry2A, and Cry1C toxins with similar toxicities. To striped stem borer (SSB), Cry1Ac, Cry2A, and Cry1C were more toxic than Cry1Aa ...

the use of resistant cultivars remains one of the most reliable methods to manage the pests. in this study the mechanism of resistance in 10 lines of rice for 3 kinds of resistance (antixenoses, antibioses and tolerance) was studied. the egg set of striped stem borer on the leaf of considered lines for antixenoses and larva weight mean and survival percentage of larva were evaluated for antibio...

rice is the world's most important food crop. to decrease the damage of  rice pests, development of insect pest management strategies in rice is necessary. biennial results for determination of a suitable method to control striped stem borer in rice showed that integration of two methods of control (biological and mechanical) is a feasible effort to reduce stem borer infestation. to assure...

ChiloDB is an integrated resource that will be of use to the rice stem borer research community. The rice striped stem borer (SSB), Chilo suppressalis Walker, is a major rice pest that causes severe yield losses in most rice-producing countries. A draft genome of this insect is available. The aims of ChiloDB are (i) to store recently acquired genomic sequence and transcriptome data and integrat...
