In 2018 and 2019 experiments were conducted in furrow irrigated rice production systems across Arkansas to evaluate control options for rice billbug. Insecticide seed treatments and foliar insecticides were both evaluated for control of rice billbug. Additionally, trials were also conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of insecticide applications at various rice growth stages.
