Excerpt from The Rice Water-Weevil and Methods for Its Control
Clean cultural management in dealing with the weevil as with other crop pests is advisable. By restricting the growth of the various grasses and other plants, particularly the Objectionable red variety of rice, which grow along and within canals, ditches, and water holes, much advantage could be derived toward the suppression of the breeding of the weevils on the uncultivated host plants. Drain age of bayous, Sinks, and water holes would doubtless be of great benefit for the control of the weevil alone.
Leveling of the surface of fields that are to be planted in rice and plowing in such a manner as to avoid dead furrows as much as possi ble would obviate many of the depressions which on being deeply flooded conduce to a high infestation of the plants in such places.
