A series of Lucid keys to Insect Pests and Beneficials in Rice

Best management practices for Integrated Pest Management in rice involve the correct identification of insect pests and of the beneficials or natural enemies that predate or parasitise these pests. A series of Lucid identification keys have been developed to help you identify insects found in rice. A CD version of these keys is available as part of RiceIPM - a product distributed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). For more details, click here.

However, these keys are now freely accessible across the Internet. To play these keys, you need to have a copy of the Lucid Player on your hard drive. If you do not already have a Lucid Player, you will need to download a free copy to your hard drive. To download the free Lucid Player - CLICK HERE.

Once you have downloaded the player - proceed to the Introduction to the Lucid Insect Pest and Beneficial Keys.

Information about using the Lucid keys can be found in the tutorial.  For further information about Lucid identification and diagnostic keys, visit the main Lucid website.
