Abstract :

This article reviews on flare up of leaf hopper a vector of tungro virus in early transplanted coarse rice in the area of agro-ecological zone, Gujranwala during 2011. Success of monitoring system in crop was measured by its ability to provide early detection of vector (green leaf hopper) by using Integrated Pest Management Techniques with the consultation of plant doctors. This article discusses on spectral reflectance of factors controlling the presence of a vector related to tungro outbreak. This information was disseminated to the farming community to avoid early transplantation of coarse rice to save their energy and economics.
