Insecticide susceptibilities in populations of two rice planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens and Sogatella furcifera, immigrating into Japan in the period 2005–2012

Abstract

Species-specific insecticide resistance (imidacloprid resistance in N. lugens and fipronil resistance in S. furcifera) is ongoing in populations of the two planthoppers immigrating into Japan.

Monitoring Trends in Insecticide Resistance of Field Populations of Sogatella furcifera (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) in Guizhou Province, China, 2012–2015

“…Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is one of the most serious migratory pests on rice crops throughout South and Southeast Asia (Atwal et al 1967, Kisimoto 1971, Kisimoto 1976, Khan and Saxena 1985, Wu et al 1997, Sogawa et al 2009, Heong 2009, Lakshmi et al 2010, Suri and Singh 2011, Matsumura et al 2013). In addition to causing direct damage, S. furcifera is a vector of several rice pathogens, particularly the Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus, which causes large yield losses (Shen et al 2003, Wang et al 2010, Pu et al 2012, Zhou et al 2013, Li et al 2013, Tu et al 2013, Lei et al 2014).…”

“…From the 1970s to the 1990s, these species of rice planthopper developed a remarkable degree of resistance to the commonly used insecticides across China, Thailand, southern Vietnam, and Malaysia (Nagata and Masuda 1980, Krishnaiah and Kalode 1988, Mao and Liang 1992, Endo and Tsurumachi 2001, Nagata et al 2002). Neonicotinoid insecticides were developed after the 1990s (Jeschke and Nauen 2008) and were used intensively against rice planthoppers, including S. furcifera , in many rice-growing regions (Matsumura et al 2013). However, since 2003, these neonicotinoids have been less effective.…”

“…Imidacloprid, registered for use on rice in 1991, played a key role in the management of rice planthoppers in Japan, China, and Vietnam (Liang et al 2007, Cheng 2009). However, the high resistance to imidacloprid in N. lugens eventually led to control failure in China in 2005 (Wang et al 2008, 2009a; Li et al 2009; Matsumura and Sanada-Morimura 2010; Matsumura et al 2013). Buprofezin, chlorpyrifos, and thiamethoxam were recommended as replacements for imidacloprid (Bo et al 2008).…”

Identification of polymorphisms in Cyrtorhinus lividipennis RDL subunit contributing to fipronil sensitivity

“…The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, is a major agricultural pest which caused serious damages to rice in Asian countries [1]. Insecticide application is still the most common method to control BPH in the integrated pest management as it is quick, efficient and easy to use [2,3].…”

“…[1][2][3] BPH is able to migrate over long distances [3][4][5] and is well-distributed across Asia. 6) BPH populations are controlled mainly by insecticides, but the unregulated use of insecticides in many areas have resulted in insecticide tolerance and the outbreak of BPH in tropical Asian countries, 7) including frequent outbreaks in the 1960s and 1970s after the Green Revolution. 8) Such accelerated disease outbreaks in turn prompt farmers to use insecticides.…”
