Oryza sativa times can be found in the Cordillera Mountain Range of Luzon in the provinces of Apayao, Benguet, Mountain Province and Ifugao. The Banaue Rice Terraces (Tagalog: "Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banaue") are 2,000- to 3,000-year-old terraces that were carved into the mountains by ancestors of the Batad indigenous people.

The terraces are located about 1,500 m (5,000 ft) above sea level and cover 10,360 km (about 4,000 mi) of mountainside. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces. Evidence of

Recorded host plants include a number of economically important plants such as "Phaseolus vulgaris", "Beta vulgaris", "Brassica oleracea" var. "capitata", "Cucumis melo", "Cyperus esculentus", "Zea mays", "Vigna unguiculata", "Phaseolus lunatus", "Avena sativa", "Pisum sativum", "Arachis hypogaea", "Capsicum annuum", "Oryza sativa", "Secale cereale", "Sorghum bicolor", "Glycine max", "Sorghum sudanense", "Saccharum officinarum", "Ipomoea batatas", "Lycopersicon esculentum", "Brassica rapa" and "Triticum aestivum". They tunnel into the crown of their host plant, severely weakening large plants and often killing young seedlings. They spin silken tubes near the
