Abstract
The pre-ovipostion period, oviposition period, longevity and fecundity of the macropterous and brachypterous females of the rice brown planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens Stal, averaged 2·9 and 3·0 days; 8·4 and 9·2 days; 10·5 and 16·5 days; and 421·8 and 485·8, respectively. The egg-laying habit of this pest is described and its daily rate of oviposition illustrated.
