Electronic monitoring of feeding behavior of Nilaparvata lugens (Homoptera: Delphacidae) on resistant and susceptible rice cultivars
Environmental Entomology 15 (3), 678-682
Abstract: Feeding activity of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) biotype 3 on five rice cultivars was monitored with an electronic recording device. Cultivars tested were N. lugens-resistant 'IR56' with the Bph 3 gene, field-resistant 'IR36', 'IR42', and 'Utri Rajapan', and susceptible 'Taichung Native 1'. Distinct differences in waveforms for probing, salivation, A waveforms, and ingestion were recorded on resistant and susceptible cultivars. N. lugens probed repeatedly, salivated for a long time, and ingested for a very short period on resistant 'IR56' when compared with the susceptible cultivar. Phloem ingestion decreased sign significantly with an increase in age of 'IR36', 'IR42', and 'Utri Rajapan'.
