This review examines the effects of crop management on the efficiency and durability of
planthopper resistant rice in Asia. Historical evidence and selection experiments indicate …

Since the late 1970s, the area of agricultural land dedicated to hybrid rice has rapidly
increased throughout Asia, particularly in C hina, I ndia, and V ietnam. The pace of hybrid …

Yield losses from rice stem borers depend on the nature of the rice variety, the timing of
attack, and the composition of the stem borer species assemblage. This study uses a range …

High resource availability can reduce anti-herbivore resistance (a plant's ability to defend
against herbivores and reduce damage) in rice, Oryza sativa L, but may also increase …

Simple Summary Hybrid rice is produced by crossing a male sterile rice line (the A line) with
a pollen doner that restores fertility (the restorer line). The consequential outbreeding can …

Hybrid rice has been noted for its susceptibility to insects and diseases compared to pure‐
line (conventional) rice varieties. We investigated herbivory by Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella …

The brown planthopper (Nilapavata lugens: BPH) and whitebacked planthopper (Sogatella
furcifera: WBPH) co-occur as the principal pests of rice in Asia. A review of previous studies …

Simple Summary The brown planthopper is a major rice pest in Asia that causes extensive
damage where farmers apply large amounts of nitrogenous fertilizers. Over the last 50 years …

A series of experiments was set up to examine the effects of nitrogen on rice (Oryza sativa
L.) resistance against Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) and Sogatella furcifera (Horváth). Egg laying …

Research into rice-stemborer interactions for pest management has gained renewed
attention in the last 10–15 years. However, recent research has tended to overlook essential …
