“…Higher fertilizer use has often been associated with increased planthopper and stem borer fitness and with higher levels of damage to rice plants (Cheng, ; Preap et al., ; Jiang & Cheng, ; Lu et al., ). Stem borers and other lepidopterans also have higher survival, faster growth rates, and attain a greater biomass on plants with high nitrogen applications and/or with applications of inorganic fertilizers (Dhandapani et al., ; Gill et al., ; Gines et al., ; Jiang & Cheng, ; Huang et al., ). However, in a recent study using a range of hybrids and their respective inbred parental lines, Crisol et al.…”

“…Higher fertilizer inputs associated with hybrid varieties could increase hybrid vulnerability to a range of insect herbivores (hypothesis B4) although it may also increase hybrid tolerance to herbivore damage (hypothesis B5). Higher fertilizer use has often been associated with increased planthopper and stem borer fitness and with higher levels of damage to rice plants (Cheng, 1971;Preap et al, 2001;Jiang & Cheng, 2003;Lu et al, 2004). Stem borers and other lepidopterans also have higher survival, faster growth rates, and attain a greater biomass on plants with high nitrogen applications and/or with applications of inorganic fertilizers (Dhandapani et al, 1990;Gill et al, 1993;Gines et al, 1994;Jiang & Cheng, 2003;Huang et al, 2010).…”

Since the late 1970s, the area of agricultural land dedicated to hybrid rice has rapidly increased throughout Asia, particularly in China, India, and Vietnam. The pace of hybrid adoption, a generally low genetic diversity of hybrid varieties, and higher agrochemical inputs with hybrid rice compared to conventional varieties has significantly changed the rice landscape. Some authors have associated these changes with an increasing incidence of damage to rice by herbivorous insects. This review examines trends in hybrid adoption in Asia, the associated problems with insect herbivores, and possible solutions to these problems. A series of hypotheses are presented to explain the increased incidence of damage as related to issues of crop susceptibility (hybrid physiology and genetics) and crop vulnerability (management-related issues). Evidence suggests that hybrid rice has been highly vulnerable to damage from a range of insects. Inadequate attention to issues of planthopper resistance, linked with high agrochemical inputs and a new, vigorous rice type, likely contributed to high levels of planthopper damage in some hybrid rice varieties. Furthermore, hybrid susceptibility to the whitebacked planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Horv ath) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), has been linked to the female (wild abortive-cytoplasmic male sterile) parent of some hybrid lines. Meanwhile, a high incidence of stem borer damage to hybrids has likely resulted from the interaction of several plant traits with normal hybrid management, and particularly with the higher fertilizer applications associated with hybrid rice. Despite apparently low levels of resistance, hybrid varieties have high tolerance to herbivore damage; however, aspects of hybrid tolerance have been largely neglected in the literature, in breeding programs, and during development of pest management actions. This review suggests that research into the entomology of hybrid rice needs updating as hybrid varieties and management options continue to change over time. Pest management areas that require further research (including strategies for deployment of resistant varieties) are highlighted and a call is made for increased attention to issues of hybrid tolerance for sustainable herbivore management.

“…These correlations might have resulted from growth or/and physiological compensations in the injured plants. Compensation in rice plants due to stem borer attack has been well documented in earlier studies (Lu, 1987;Sun and Du, 1992;Rubia et al, 1996;Jiang and Cheng, 2003). They might also have resulted from preference of stem borers for infesting larger plants where higher injury levels consequently occurred, or from some other unmeasured plant attributes to which stem borers respond.…”

Abstract:The rice water weevil (RWW) Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an invasive insect pest of rice Oryza sativa L. in China. Little is known about the interactions of this weevil with indigenous herbivores. In the present study, adult feeding and population density of the weevil, injury level of striped stem borer Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and pink stem borer Sesamia inferens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to rice, as well as growth status of their host plants were surveyed in a rice field located in Southeastern Zhejiang, China, in 2004 with the objective to discover interspecific interactions on the rice. At tillering stage, both adult feeding of the weevil and injury of the stem borers tended to occur on larger tillers (bearing 5 leaves) compared with small tillers (bearing 2~4 leaves), but the insects showed no evident competition with each other. At booting stage, the stem borers caused more withering/dead hearts and the weevil reached a higher density on the plants which had more productive tillers and larger root system; the number of weevils per tiller correlated negatively with the percentage of withering/dead hearts of plants in a hill. These observations indicate that interspecific interactions exist between the rice water weevil and the rice stem borers with negative relations occurring at booting or earlier developmental stages of rice.

“…They also indicated that 33% dead hearts in 30-d-old plants did not have a signiÞcant effect on productive tillers or grain yield. Jiang and Cheng (2003) reported that rice plants infested with Asiatic rice borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), produced approximately one more tiller than untreated control plants 2 wk after infestation. Studies also have shown that low insect infestation levels at early growth stages may increase plant yield in Þeld beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Banks and Macaulay 1967); wheat (Triticum spp.…”

Effects of Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Damage on Sugarcane Yield

Feeding by lesser cornstalk borer, Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), larvae on sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) causes leaf damage, dead hearts, and dead plants that can result in stand and yield loss. A 2-yr greenhouse experiment was conducted to examine sugarcane variety and plant age-specific feeding responses to E. lignosellus. Plants growing from single-eye setts of three varieties were exposed to a single generation of E. lignosellus larvae beginning at the three-, five-, and seven-leaf stages. Results indicated that the physical damage and resulting yield loss of plants attacked by E. lignosellus larvae were dependent on the variety and leaf stage at which they were infested. Significantly more plant damage was observed in all three varieties when infested at the three- than at the seven-leaf stage. Larvae caused significantly more plant damage and reduced yield in CP 89-2143 than in CP 78-1628. Tiller production increased in CP78-1628 and CP 88-1762 when infested at the three-leaf stage, whereas tiller production, biomass and sugar yield decreased in CP 89-2143 when infested at all leaf stages, compared with the untreated control. There was no reduction in yield when CP 78-1628 was infested at the three- or five-leaf stages. Biomass was reduced in CP 88-1762 when plants were infested at any of the leaf stages, but sugar yield was reduced only when infested at the seven-leaf stage. These results indicate that compensation in response to E. lignosellus damage was variety dependent and declined with the delay in infestation time.
