Retrospection of Outbreaks of <i>Spodoptera mauritia </i>Boisduval in NER India: The Solution Lies in Ecological Engineering, Not in Insecticides
Rice cultivation in North East India is organic by tradition; however, the recent outbreaks of the rice-swarming caterpillar, <i>Spodoptera mauritia </i>Boisduval, have compelled rice-farmers to use synthetic insecticides. The outbreak in 2016 affected more than 56,768 ha of winter rice...

Rice cultivation in North East India is organic by tradition; however, the recent outbreaks of the rice-swarming caterpillar, <i>Spodoptera mauritia </i>Boisduval, have compelled rice-farmers to use synthetic insecticides. The outbreak in 2016 affected more than 56,768 ha of winter rice in 28 districts of Assam. About 25,545–42,576 L insecticide was applied in the state to combat the outbreak. This is one of the highest insecticide loads ever to be added to the rice ecosystem of Assam.
