Abstract
Characteristics of the infestation of, and damage to, rice plants by the rice planthopper, the brown plant-hopper (BPH) and the white-backed planthopper (WBPH) in Japan were reviewed and a quantitative analysis and growth models were used to evaluate the feeding effect on rice growth and yield. At the vegetative stage, WBPH feeding reduced the shoot dry weight about 4 times more than the total dry matter removed by insect feeding. WBPH feeding has a direct effect on biomass production by removing phloem sap, and some indirect effects by reducing some physiological processes. BPH feeding also has direct and indirect effects, and causes severe damage to rice plants after flowering. Field experiment suggested that the translocation rate of carbohydrates from shoot to panicle at the maturing stage was not affected by BPH feeding as long as the carbohydrates that remained in the reserves pool was sufficient for grain growth. Photosynthetic reduction was observed in infested plants by using stable isotope-labelled carbon dioxide. The direct effect (removal of the phloem sap) and the indirect effect (reduction in leaf area) were introduced into the rice growth model. This model could describe not only the reduction in grain weight, but also the plant death that is referred to as ‘hopper bum’. The simulation outputs were influenced by fluctuations in weather conditions and the infestation period, though the infestation density was the same.
