Brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) is a major insect pest of rice in Bangladesh. Nutrient management in rice received little attention on BPH population. The present study evaluated the consequences of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) application on population build up and weight of BPH in the laboratory and net-house at Entomology Division, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute. Three levels of soil nitrogen (0, 100, 200 kg N ha-1), phosphorus (0, 20, 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) and potassium (0, 60, 120 kg K2O ha-1) were compared for individual and combined effects. Interactions of N, P and K demonstrated no significant effect on population growth and weight of BPH. However, interaction of N and P showed significant effect on population growth of BPH. Fertilization with nitrogen increased population and dry weight of BPH. Phosphorus fertilization markedly increased the population growth while high potassium application decreased population build up and dry weight of BPH.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/brj.v17i1-2.20900Bangladesh Rice j. 2013, 17(1&2): 38-48

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is a key challenge to rice production in Asia. Outbreaks of planthoppers are associated with excessive fertilizer applications; consequently, we examined planthopper interactions with susceptible, tolerant and resistant varieties of rice under varying levels of soil nitrogen in a greenhouse experiment. We compared planthopper fitness (survival × reproduction) and plant tolerance (functional plant loss index) for 16 varieties at 0, 80 and 150 Kg added nitrogen ha−1. The planthoppers grew larger, developed more quickly and laid more eggs on susceptible varieties, compared with the resistant and tolerant varieties. Moreover, soil nitrogen generally increased planthopper fitness on resistant varieties, but relative resistance was maintained. Functional plant loss was highest among the susceptible varieties, but weight and growth rate reductions per mg of planthopper were often highest in the tolerant varieties. Tolerance was associated with large, fast-growing plants, with at least moderate resistance to the planthopper. Susceptibility was associated with a small size and/or an absence of resistance genes. Our results suggested that early-tillering rice plants can be both resistant and tolerant to the brown planthopper, but cannot be both susceptible and tolerant of planthoppers at high densities. This indicates that at least moderate resistance is required for tolerance against this herbivore. Furthermore, although dwarf varieties had a low tolerance of planthoppers, they could express resistance through functioning resistance genes.

Rice productivity is greatly affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses. Insect-pests are one of the major bioticconstraints to cause significant losses in rice production. Brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stål, isthe most serious insect-pest of rice in Asia where most of the world rice is produced. Controlling insects usingchemicals is already proven detrimental not only to environment but also to human health. Integrated PestManagement (IPM) is the best approach to control insect pests. Host plant resistance is the principal componentof IPM along with biological, cultural and physical methods. Use of varietal resistance is the best option to controlBPH. Many BPH resistant rice varieties with natural BPH resistance have been developed and widely used againstBPH. However, frequent breakdown of monogenic resistance by new BPH biotypes has been a serious threat tocontrol BPH. To overcome such difficulty in the use of monogenic resistance, development of durable resistanceis needed as the sustainable means to control BPH. To develop durable resistance, pyramiding of BPH resistancegenes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs), through marker-assisted method, is needed. For this, many BPH resistancegenes and QTLs have already been identified and mapped on rice chromosomes. This article reviews identification,mapping and pyramiding toward successful cloning of BPH resistance genes/QTLs and provides the basis/guidelines to work on natural insect resistance genes using molecular markers in Nepal.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njst.v15i1.12032Nepal Journal of Science and TechnologyVol. 15, No.1 (2014) 145-156

<p>The rice<br />brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) is a<br />major insect pest of rice and their infestations occur every<br />year in several locations in Indonesia. The use of<br />insecticides often fails to control the BPH so their<br />populations are still high that cause rice crops show<br />hopperburn and the farmer loses the yields. The<br />development of insecticide resistant in BPH population is<br />one of the factors to contribute to the failure of insecticides<br />control. We have detected the development of field<br />population BPH resistance to BPMC, carbofuran, MIPC, and<br />imidacloprid, but we do not know yet the development of<br />resistance to other insecticides to control BPH in Indonesia.<br />This paper will review several cases on BPH resistance to<br />insecticides in Indonesia and other countries that include<br />aspects of the development of resistance in the field and in<br />the laboratory, the mechanism of resistance, inheritance of<br />resistance, genomics of resistance, and resistance<br />management. A policy and further study is also suggested for<br />insecticide resistance management in Indonesia.</p>

The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is the most notorious rice insect pest. In order to repel BPH effectively while being environmentally friendly, a new film based on guar gum incorporated with citral (GC film) was formulated. A toxicity bioassay of citral and guar gum at different proportions (ratios of 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 in w/w) of GC film-forming emulsion to BPH was performed with the rice stem dipping method. Results showed that the most effective ratio of citral to guar gum was 1:1 with the median lethal concentration (LC50) of 4.30 mg/mL, far below the LC50 of guar gum (GG)/citral individual (141.51 and 44.38 mg/mL, respectively). The mortality of BPH adults and nymphs in the third instar treated with different dilution multiples of GC film-forming emulsion ranged from 46.67% to 82.22% and from 37.78% to 71.11%, respectively. These indicated that GC film-forming emulsion had a direct toxicity on BPH, and the mixture of citral and GG had synergistic interactions. Subsequently, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the incorporation of guar gum with citral was successful and did not result in the formation of new chemical bonds. The GC film exhibited a darker color and rougher surface topography with larger apertures and deeper gullies (Ra = 1.42 nm, Rq = 2.05 nm, and Rmax = 25.40 nm) compared to the guar gum film (GG film) (Ra = 1.00 nm, Rq = 1.33 nm, and Rmax = 16.40 nm), as determined by transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The GC film exhibited a 50.4% lower solubility in water (30.30% vs. 15.00%) and 71.3% oxygen permeability (8.26 × 10−9 vs. 2.37 × 10−9 cm3/m2·d·Pa) (p < 0.05) but did not demonstrate any significant difference in mechanical properties, such as thickness (39.10 vs. 41.70 mm), tensile strength (41.89 vs. 38.30 N/mm2), and elongation at break (1.82% vs. 2.03%) (p < 0.05) compared to the GG film. Our findings established a link between physicochemical properties and bioactivity, which can provide useful information on developing and improving GC films and may offer an alternative approach for the control of BPH in the near future.
