Studies on management of yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas in rice” were carried out at the Research Farm, Department of Entomology, T.D.P.G. College, Jaunpur (UP) during Kharif, 2004. All the treatments were found to be effective in reducing the incidence of S. incertulas. The treatments, carbofuran, imidacloprid 25g ai/ha, imidacloprid 40g ai/ha and biolap were found most effective as these treatments registered comparatively low incidence of S. incertulas. The release of bioagent, T. japonicum 50000eggs/ha was found effective in reducing the incidence of S. incertulas which was observed to be superior over some of the treatments namely Nimbecidene.
