Influence of Weather Factors on the Incidence of Stem Borer in Rice

Year: 1981

Type: article

Abstract: The stem borer damage (dead hearts in percent age) was con elated with weather factors. The analysis indicated the existence of significant positive relationship with the morning relative humidity (r=0.398), evening relative humidity (r=0.428), total rainfall (r=0.303) and total number of rainy days (r=0.320) as well as significant negative correlation with sunshine hours (—0 299) and maximum temperature (r=0 469). Multiple regression analysis revealed that increase in minimum tremperature by 1°C would result in a decrease of 0.43% stem borer damage.
