Abstract
Study on predatory heteropteran water bugs from four different sites of
rice fields in east Vidarbha during Rabi and kharif seasons from 2021 to 2023
by quadrant method. These were Limnogonus fossarum (Fabricius),
Hydrometra species, Microvelia douglasi (Scott) and Anisops
ogasawarensis (Matsumura). These water bugs were first recorded in the
field at about 15 DAT (day after transplantation) and high abundance were found
at 30 DAT during Rabi and kharif seasons. Density of all water bugs was high in
both the kharif and Rabi season in all study sites. Among four water bugs, A.
ogasawarensis was found to be the most abundant in all study sites of rice
fields of east Vidarbha.
