Flowering Stage Insect Pests Introduction Several pest species damage crops during their growth and development in the field. Some pests are associated with specific crop growth stage while others may occur during more than one or during all crop growth stages. It is imperative to study pest profile of crops for better understanding of crop-pest interactions. Flowering stage pests directly have bearing on crop yield because plants can no more compensate pest damage at this juncture of their development. Gundhi bug- Flowering stage pest of rice End Next
