Abstract

Studies on upland rice adopting different techniques indicated that the incorporation of stubbles in the soil soon after harvest, the use of light traps, the fertilization with phosphorus, potassium and zinc and attractant insecticide affected the activity of insect populations that occurred on the crop. Soil compactation after seeding was the practice that gave better response in relation to grain yield.
