Although effective management of rice insect-pests can be achieved
by insecticides but their excessive long term use poses human
health and environmental risks in addition to effect on non-targets
organisms. Now-a-days, some pest management practices such as
agronomic practices like smart fertilizer and nutrient application,
real time monitoring and surveillance, ecological engineering through
habitat manipulation, biological control by more effective strain,
nanotechnology, host plant resistance by RNAi and marker assisted
selection, have been introduced and adopted to manage rice insect
pests which are eco-friendly in nature and also promote natural pest
management. Here, this article intended to discuss the various frontier
pest management technologies which will help for sustainable rice
production.
