Effect of different varieties and nitrogen levels on the incidence of insect-pests of rice was studied at Panjab Agricultural Univesity, Gurdaspur. The highest incidence of rice leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) and stem borer Scripophaga incertulas (Walker) was recorded from the basmati variety Punjab Bas-2. The incidence of leaf folder and stem borer increased with increase in nitrogen level.
