Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation In the laboratory, Pseudaletia unipuncta larvae consumed an average of 267.7 cm2 of rice foliage over an average 24.3-day developmental period.
- Observation Of the rice foliage consumed by the larvae, 96% was eaten during the last 10 to 12 days (5th and 6th instars).
- Observation In the field, feeding damage was generally found on the distal portion of rice leaves.
- Association Defoliation of rice plants was highly correlated with larval density.
- Observation The greatest number of larvae observed in the field was 0.37 larvae per plant.
