“…In the 1960s, the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation encouraged the establishment of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines to breed rice varieties having short and straight leave, respond to high fertilizers, are not easy to topple and are not sensitive to the light range while producing high production yield. The consequence of the monocropping practice of these semi-dwarf rice varieties was an outbreak of insect pests, for example, the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal) outbreak attacking Thai rice that has the same characteristics as the IRRI rice cultivars during the 1970s, and the incidents in Bangladesh that started in the same decade (Zahirul et al, 2009).…”

This case study proposed a hypothesis on initiating urban-rural co-development using food as a medium to drive the transformation of the food systems and sustainable consumption. The guiding principles of the United Nations Habitat to the water-retention areas under the nature-based solution (NBS) for flood mitigation in Thailand's central region, the main rice-growing area, were applied. This study reviewed the partnerships of primary institutions, namely public, private, and universities, supporting and intertwining with civil society through Thai cultural and social norms after the 1997 economic crisis. The critical aspects included the sufficiency economy (SE) philosophy at the household level as a foundation of national policies. Recent policies and measures on food and nutrition security, alternative farming practices, and incentives to increase sustainable agroecology were prioritized post-COVID-19. This research suggests additional measures enabling agroecology and landscape improvement in rural areas connecting the cities of Ayutthaya and Bangkok to enhance market access for small producers and consumers in rural and urban areas with limited resources. A better community-based adaptation, ecological outcomes, and sustainable social inclusion in flood-prone lowlands could support Thailand's food sovereignty and capacity-building as one of the world's major food exporters under climate extremes.

“…Globally yield loss in rice due to pathogens has been estimated to be 15%-30%, which costs about 33 billion USD annually (Oerke et al, 2012). Average domestic losses due to diseases over the decade 1989-90 to 1998-99 was estimated as 3% in Boro, 5.9% in Aus, and 6.0% in Aman with an average for three seasons is 4.9%, contributing to an annual loss of 1.52 million ton per year (Islam and Catling, 2012). In Bangladesh, 32 diseases are known to occur in rice.…”

Seed-borne diseases cause substantial yield loss of rice every year. The present study was conducted to determine the status of seed-borne Fusarium spp. infection in farmers’ saved rice seeds of nine local cultivars collected from all ten upazila of Barishal district. Two fungal species of Fusarium, i.e., Fusarium fujikuroi, and Fusarium equiseti were identified based on morphological characteristics using the blotter method. The highest infection of F. fujikuroi was observed in Babuganj upazila (11.11%), followed by Agailjhara (8.83%). On the other hand, the highest infection of F. equiseti was observed in Bakerganj (8.17%), followed by Mehendiganj (8.05%). The lowest infection of F. fujikuroi and F. equiseti was observed in Muladi, with values of 5.22% and 4.54%, respectively. Among local cultivars, the highest infection of F. fujikuroi (7.11%) was observed in Lalpaika followed by Sakkhorkora (6.83%). On the other hand, the highest infection of F. equiseti was observed in Dudhmona (9.17%) followed by Kajalshail (8.94%). The lowest infection of F. fujikuroi and F. equiseti was observed in the Bhushihara cultivar with the same infestion (4.61%). The prevalence of Fusarium spp. varied with respect to the location of seed collection as well as cultivars. Highest seed germination was observed in Bhushihara (89%) followed by Swarna (87%) and Joyna (85%). Lowest seed germination was observed in Lalpaika (78%). The highest mortality of the seedlings after germination was observed in Lalpaika (24.25%), followed by Dudhmona (23%) and the lowest mortality of the seedlings was observed in Bhushihara (14.75%). Thus, seed germination rate and post-emergence mortality of seedlings were directly associated with seed-borne infection of F. fujikuroi and F. equiseti. Ann. Bangladesh Agric. (2023) 27 (2): 31-39

“…Neonicotinoids are the principal group of insecticides for BPH control followed by pyrethroids, carbamates, and organophosphates (Matsuda, Ihara, & Sattelle, 2020). Islam et al (2009) mentioned the first 'hopper-burn' in rice fields of Bangladesh in 1976 and an outbreak of BPH was reported in 1983. Although, chemical insecticide is widely used to control rice pests including BPH in Bangladesh, very limited studies have been carried out to monitor the toxicities of insecticides commonly used in this region.…”

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), caused severe yield losses in rice production in many Asian countries. Chemical control is the key component of the integrated pest management tool to control rice brown planthopper (BPH). However, reduced toxicity of insecticides against this pest has been reported. We investigated the BPH mortality rate and the evolution of insecticide resistance in BPH collected from Bangladesh to commonly used insecticides by the rice-stem dipping method. Both the BPH laboratory strain and field populations were used in this study. The mortality rate of the Gazipur field population ranges from 15% to 80%, after exposure to imidacloprid in different concentrations. The highest mortality was found in response to dinotefuran followed by chlorpyrifos and etofenprox. The mortality rate increased after the time of exposure in relation to the increased concentrations of the insecticides. Additionally, the selected BPH strain shows a higher level of resistance to imidacloprid (resistance ratio = 179.45-fold), while other field populations show low to moderate levels of resistance. Increased detoxification enzyme activity, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, was found in imidacloprid-resistant BPH. This study provides important information regarding the reduced toxicities of frequently used insecticides to control BPH.
