Early vegetative pests—rice seedling maggot
Atherigona oryzae Malloch Diptera: Muscidae
Rice seedling maggot infests only upland ricefields or more rarely lowland fields without standing water. The larvae of this fly cut young tillers causing deadhearts ( Fig. 32 ). A severely attacked field will have many missing plants as a result of tillers having been totally severed ( Fig. 33 ). The fly has a wide host range and passes the dry season in dormancy. It re-emerges with the onset of the wet season. Thus, the seedling maggot is highly seasonal and can be avoided by early or late planting.
The adult is a common looking yellowish gray fly ( Fig. 34 ) and is active during the day. It has two or three pairs of dorsal black spots on the lower half of the yellow abdomen.
