Abstract: | Glasshouse studies were made on honeydew production, adult and nymphal body weight gain, fecundity and size of egg groups of brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Homoptera: Delphacidae) (BPH) on CVS TN1, ASD7, Babawee, Mudgo, Rathu-Heenati and Ptb33 rice plants with watering regimes of 10 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml and excess water daily. Honeydew production, weight gain, fecundity and size of egg groups were greatest on TN1, followed by ASD7. BPH did less well on Babawee, Mudgo and Rathu-Heenati and they did worst on Ptb33. Watering regimes greatly affected performance, with significantly less honeydew, less weight gain, lower fecundity and smaller egg groups on plants with 10 ml water daily than on plants with excess water. The 20 ml and 30 ml watering regimes also significantly reduced honeydew production on TN1 and ASD7 and fecundity and weight gain of adults and nymphs on Mudgo. On Babawee adults gained most weight on the 20 ml and 30 ml treatments, and nymphs gained most weight on the 30 ml treatment. BPH laid most eggs on TN1, ASD7, Babawee and Rathu-Heenati when plants were given 30 ml water daily. |
