Abstract
Rice yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas is one of the most economically important biotic constraints to rice production throughout the Asian region. The female moth produces sex pheromone that could be used for the management of YSB through mating disruption, mass trapping or auto confusion. Field trials were conducted at three locations of Warangal district-Andhra Pradesh, to evaluate the effectiveness of Auto confusion technology for management of yellow stem borer Vis a Vis farmers practice or mass trapping. Auto confusion technique registered lower white ear incidence than mass trapping and farmers practice proving the effectiveness of Auto confusion technology in the management of yellow stem borer populations. Auto confusion technique was found to be eco-friendly by harbouring a larger number of predator populations. The effectiveness of the technique was either comparable or at times better than chemical control.
