Simple Summary Hybrid rice often has higher yields than comparable inbred varieties.
However, hybrids are sometimes more susceptible to insect herbivores. Outbreeding can …

Crop establishment is one of the major rice production operations that strongly affects rice
production, productivity, and environmental impacts. This research introduced a new …

Simple Summary Rice breeding programs have included traditional varieties and wild rice
species as sources of resistance to planthoppers and leafhoppers, which are major insect …

Simple Summary Rice is often attacked by several herbivores and plant pathogens at the
same time. Public research has mainly focused on enhancing rice resistance against these …

Simple Summary The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)(BPH) is a pest of rice in
Asia. Varietal resistance is proposed as an alternative to insecticides that reduces BPH …

Simple Summary Planthopper outbreaks in rice are associated with excessive fertilizer
applications. Public research has focused on develo** resistant rice to combat these …

Psyllids feed exclusively on plant sap, which is an unbalanced diet for herbivores due to its
low nitrogen content. Therefore, the plant-psyllid-natural enemy interactions can be strongly …

In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen
levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability. However, density …

Herbivorous insects depend on the host plant to optimize their overall reproductive success,
and balanced fertilization may alter the plant's quality against herbivory. Life history traits of …

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)[BPH], is a damaging pest of rice in Asia.
Insecticides and rice varietal resistance are widely implemented BPH management …
