2027 Abstract - RICE INSECT MANAGEMENT CHANGES: With current economic difficulties with rice production, it is imperative that we make sound economic decisions with respect to insect management. Changes in rice water weevil and rice stink bug management and thresholds will aid in reducing applications leading and making insect management cheaper. Management considerations for pests such as rice bill bug, rice delphacid, and fall armyworm will be discussed as well.
