The present survey was carried out to know the incidence of H. oryzivorus in different agriculture fields in two forms of H. oryzivorus (Brachypterous form, Macropterous form) which are the vigorous pest of the paddy in Sindh. The investigation is being carried out from June 2020 to November 2022. A total of 2072 specimens were collected from different agricultural zones of seven districts of Sindh from different crops and grasses. The incidence was highest in district Khairpur at 17.9 % followed by district Kashmore at 16.03%. The Ghotki was infested by 15.63% While Shikarpur was recorded as 14.14%. The incidence in Larkana was recorded as 13.17%. Sukkur and Jacobabad were less infested in a district with a percentile of 11.87% and 11.25%. Regarding the host plant, the highest number was collected from Sarkanda (Saccharum bengalese) and paddy fields.
