Abstract

Abstract: In order to clarify the feasibility of the banker plant system “Leesia sayanuka-Nlilaparvata muiri-Tytthus chinensis” to control rice planthooper, the effects of the combination of rice, L. sa-yanuka, N. lugen and N. muiri on the adult morphology, population growth, oviposition and feeding selectivity of T. chinensis were carried out in the present study. The results showed that the body size of male and female adults of T. chinensis rice population (feeding on N. lugens eggs) were significantly larger than those of T. chinensis population (feeding on N. muiri eggs). Population growth parameters including fecundity, net productive rate, innate capacity for increase, finite rate of increase of L. sayanuka feeding on N. lugens eggs were significantly higher than those of L. sayanuka feeding on N. muiri eggs. However, the population growth ability of L. sayanuka feeding on N. muiri was still high enough to expand the population. For the oviposition selection, both rice population and L. sayanuka population preferred laying eggs on rice than on L. sayanuka. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the predation of females, males and nymphs to N. lugens eggs or N. muiri eggs between rice population and L. sayanuka population. At last, based on our results, we discussed the feasibility of establishing the banker plant system “L. sayanuka-N. muiri-T. chinensis” in rice fields.
