A pest complex of about 23 insect pests belonging to 7 orders and 14 families was recorded and identified during both kharif and rabi seasons. Among the lepidopteran pest species, a leaf folder, Cnaphalocrosis medinalis was infesting rice crop very commonly causing major damage and thus representing major pest status. The peak density of C. medinalis in the kharif season was much higher than that of the rabi season. The damage was severe in the later stage of the crop growth, particularly in shady areas.
