Original: వరిలో తెల్లకంకులు ఎందుకు వస్తాయి || paddy stem borer control || varilo moggi purugu || siga purugu
Takeaway
Control paddy white earhead caused by stem borer by deep summer ploughing and spraying Coragen 60 ml, Fame 50 ml, Cartap 400 g or fipronil 400–600 ml per acre at booting before 20% panicle emergence.
Summary
- White earheads (tella kankulu) in paddy are caused by stem borer / moggi purugu, which damages the crop at nursery, tillering and panicle stages.
- Adult moths lay eggs on leaf tips at tillering; emerging larvae bore into the stem base, hollow it out, causing earheads to turn white, chaffy and pull out easily.
- Severity is higher in late-transplanted fields and where stubble is left after harvest; deep summer ploughing helps reduce carryover.
- Spray at booting / panicle initiation stage before 20% of panicles emerge — once full panicle emergence happens, sprays are ineffective.
- Recommended chemicals per acre in 150–200 L water: Coragen 60 ml, OR Fame 50 ml, OR Kelthane (Cartap 50% SP) 400 g, OR Regent (fipronil) 400–600 ml; effect lasts about 20 days.
