pests for plants (walang sangit)

very severe plant pests

In Indonesia the pest is a potential pest that in certain conditions become important pests and can cause yield loss up to 50%. The result of this research showed that the population of 5 orange weeds per 9 rice clumps will decrease 15% yield. The relationship between the population density of the pest and the declining results indicates that a one-tailed rifle attack per panicle per week can decrease the yield of 27%

Walang sangit sucks plant fluids from the flower stalk (paniculae) and also very favorable fluid of rice which is still in the cooking stage of milk causing plants lack of nutrients and yellowing (chlorosis), and slowly weakened.

The name of this animal shows the form of self-defense, which is the smell of a nose sting (so called "sangit"). Actually not only the pest of a sage that issued this scent, but also many other Alydidae members.
