What to look for
Rice, vegetative growth
Look at the leaves twice a week. Grey or white pointy spots = rice blast (a serious disease — treat right away). Yellow patches with dying plants = planthoppers (treat fast). Wilted central leaves = stem-eating worms inside.
Also watch for
General advice from crop guides for Ghana. Before you spray, ask your agro-input dealer for a product registered for this pest, read the label, and wear gloves. For a serious attack, call your district agriculture office or an agronomist.
