10 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Assessing yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) incidence patterns in paddy (Oryza sativa) cultivation:Implications for climate change adaptation strategies | The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include yellow stem borer, scirpophaga incertulas, paddy, oryza sativa, climate change adaptation, meteorological variables, dead heart, white ears. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 6 relationship, 2 definition, 2 list. 10 of the 10 pairs (100.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 0 are factual or table-based questions. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset explores the incidence patterns of the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) in paddy crops, focusing on climate change impacts. It includes 10 extractive question-and-answer pairs derived from a study conducted in Karnataka during 2022–2023. The research analyzed correlations between meteorological variables and pest dynamics, revealing relationships such as lower infestation rates with early transplanting and significant correlations between weather factors and pest effects like 'dead heart' and 'white ears.' The dataset emphasizes the need for adaptive agricultural strategies to mitigate climate-driven pest challenges.

| What is the significance of the yellow stem borer in paddy crops? | a significant threat to paddy (Oryza sativaL.) crops | Rising global food demand and the challenges posed by climate change necessitate sustainable agricultural practices, particularly in staple crop production like rice. The study was carried out during 2022–2023 at College of Agriculture, V C Farm, Mandya, Karnataka to investigate the incidence patterns of the yellow stem borer [Scirpophaga incertulas(Walker)], a significant threat to paddy (Oryza sativaL.) crops, in the context of climate change. The rice variety Jaya was taken for the study. Correlation analyses between meteorological variables and yellow stem borer infestation were performed to understand climate-driven impacts on pest dynamics. Results revealed varying infestation levels across transplanting dates, with early transplanting showing lower infestation rates. | 362 | definition | 1.000 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/154914 | The study was carried out during 2022–2023 at College of Agriculture, V C Farm, Mandya, Karnataka to investigate the incidence patterns of the yellow stem borer [Scirpophaga incertulas(Walker)], a significant threat to paddy (Oryza sativaL.) crops, in the context of climate change. | p[0] | 0.700 | valid | |
