Dying Rice Plant

John K. Saichuk, Meszaros, Anna

Dying rice plant, probably due to Colaspis feeding.

Colaspis spp. - Colaspis brunnea and Colaspis louisiana

It is common to find a clumped distribution of larvae in the soil and patches of stand loss. High spot in rice field is a good place to start to scout for Colaspis larvae. To scout for Colaspis larvae, locate plants that are stunted, dying and surrounded by declining plants.
