Madhu You’ve not used systemic insecticide in time. As a result, your matured crop has been damaged. Mostly the foolish farmers do like that. When good crops becomes damaged, then they try to be careful. In this stage nothing to do now. Although you'll do, only you misuse your money by purchasing pesticides. Pls read in my below post on when to use systemic insecticide.

Madhu Fertilizer and pesticide use in rice field During land preparation TSP, MoP, Gypsum, Zinc, Boron, Sulphur and Magnesium should be applied to the soil in full dose. After 15 days of transplantation apply urea fertilizer that helps tillering. Keep 2" water up to 54 days after transplantation. After 30 and 42 days spread urea again that enhance vegetative growth. From 55 to 75 days of age 4 "of water should be retained in the field . Otherwise, some ears may grow empty. Spread Carbofuran 5 G twice, 21 and 42 days after transplantation. This helps suppress stem borer and nematodes by systemic actions.
