Nursery boxes for rice seed

Process for treating rice plants or rice propagation material against insects with a view to obtaining sustained and effective protection of the plant after the sowing period, characterized in that there is applied to the said plants or to their propagation material an effective amount of an insecticide other than an organophosphorus insecticide having systemic properties which is capable of having a long-lasting effect, that is to say even persisting on the growing plant after germination. This process is used with a pyrazole insecticide. The invention also applies to the seeds thus treated and to the nursery boxes containing them.
