Abstract
Rice is unique among the world’s major food crops by virtue of the extent and variety of its uses and adaptability to a broad range of climatic, edaphic, and cultural conditions (Mikkelsen and Datta, 1991). It provides 20% of the per capita energy and 15% of the per capita protein for humans worldwide. Annual world rice production is approximately 460 million tons grown on more than 145 million ha. Over 90% of this area lies in Asia, while the remainder is divided among Latin America, Africa, Australia, Europe, and the USA (see Way and Bowling, 1991). Rice production should be increased to supply a rapidly expanding population; however, it has been hindered by a number of diseases and insect pests. Moreover, rapid changes in rice production technologies have created greater frequencies of pest epidemics (Reissig et al., 1986).
