An experiment was undertaken with 21 varieties/lines of rice to find out their effect on the abundance of Nephotettix spp. and interrelationships between leafhoppers and their natural predators. It was concluded from the results of experiment that the use of less susceptible variety of rice and encouragement of natural predators like Micraspis, Conocephalus, Tetragnatha, Oxiopes, Agriocnemus etc. may be helpful for control of Nephotettix in rice fields.
