Stinkbugs of the genus Scotinophara are common pests of rice in several Asian countries. Of the four Scotinophara sp. present on rice in India, only S. lurida (F.) was reported as a serious pests. Rice Black bug (RBB), Scotinophara lurida Burmeister (Pentatomidae: Hemiptera) movement in the rice ecosystem was monitored at Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute, Aduthurai during the period from 2011 to 2021. Maximum light trap catches was observed in the month of July to September immediately after the receipt of rainfall, which favoured the brood emergence of black bug. Brood emergence and flight activity of black bug is affected by the rainfall. Application of Azolla @ 25 kg/ha, lemon grass as bund crop and Neem oil (3%) as foliar Spray on 10, 30, 60 days after transplanting (DAT) showed minimum incidence of the black bug and maximum yield (5507 kg/ha.) when compared to control (4996 kg/ha.). Thus it can be concluded that these information can be included in the integrated black bug management practices.
