Electrophysiological recordings of antennal responses to common plant volatile chemicals in the rice brown planthopper, Niloparuota lugens (Homoptera: Delphasidae}, were examined. Volatile plant chemicals were generally credited with a major role In host plant location for food or egg laying by many insects feeding on plants as adults and/or as larvae. An mitial examination of extracellular responses has been conducted. Acton potentials recorded from the plaque organs were initially positive-going, biphaslc spikes and the background firing rate of the cells recorded ranged from 1 ~22 impulses/sec. A wide range of responses to changes in concentration of the test chemical was observed. The commonest response was a relatively small increase in exitation with increasing concentration beween 1 J.lg and 100).\g on the filter paper in syringe. Adtivity either peaked at 100 $\mug$ and remained virtually saturated at 1000 f19 or tended to decrease at the highest concentration.

A study was carried out to investigate some biological characteristics of Pseudogonatopus nudas, a nymphal parasitoid of the whitebacked planthopper (WBPH) under laboratory conditions (26-$28^{\circ}C$). Developmental periods of eggs, larva, prepupa and pupa were 2.5, 7.8, 2.7, and 14.2 days in average, respectively. Total developmental period from egg to adult emergence was average of 27.2 days. More than 83.5% of the wasps emerged in the morning between 6 and 10 o'clock, while very few emerged in the afternoon. The average longevity of female and male were 11.8 and 3.4 days when honey and WBPH nymphs were supplied as food. female laid an average of 25.3 eggs and the oviposition period was 5.4 days. The parasitoid seemed to prefer the 3rd instar nymphas as the host for oviposition with 68.8%, followed by the 2nd (19.6%), 4th (11.05) and 5th instar (0.6%). And no parasitism was recorded from the 1st instar nymphs and in adults.

The small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Fall$\acute{e}$n) (SBPH) is one of the important rice pests in Korea, which transmits rice stripe virus (RSV) to rice. This pest is an indigenous species in Korea and has also known to migrate from China to the western coastal areas of Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the wing morphs of SBPH and its parasitism rate of Haplogonatopus atratus Esaki et Hashimoto in Korea. In 2014, SBPH were collected in April and July from 16 sites throughout South Korea and their wing morphs and parasitism rates were measured under the microscope. Percentage of brachypterous male in July was significantly declined compared to that in April, while that of brachypterous female did not change. A positive relationship was found between latitude and percentage of brachypterous adults in April. Parasitism rate of both nymphs and adults were higher in April than July. In addition, nymphal parasitism rate was generally higher in western coastal areas.

Insecticidal activity of 31 registered insecticides was tested against Metcalfa pruinosa adults. All experiments were conducted at the recommended concentration (ppm) of each insecticide. Among them, 16 insecticides from organophosphates (dichlorvos, fenitrothion, fenthion, methidathion, phenthoate), carbamates (methomyl), pyrethroids (${\alpha}$-cypemethrin, deltamethrin, fenpropathrin, ${\gamma}$-cyhalothrin), neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam), and other (endosulfan) showed 100% mortality by spraying on the body of M. pruinosa adults. Dichlorvos, fenitrothion, fenthion, methidathion, phenthoate and endosulfan showed 100% mortality by plant-dipping method. The residual effect was showed 100% mortality in four insecticides (fenitrothion, fenthion, methidathion, phenthoate) at one day after treatment, and three insecticides (fenitrothion, methidathion, phenthoate) were showed the mortality of 90% at three days after treatment.

his study was conducted to Investigate the occurrence of small brown planthopper (SBPH), LaodeIpahx striatellus Fallen, and the ind~cence 01 rice virus diseases by d~fferent seeding dates in dryseeded rice. The occurrerlce of SBPH was the highest an nce seeded in May 11, followed byMay 1, May 21 and May 31. However. SBPH dld not occur on the rice seeded in June 10 duelo the rice was emerged after peak occurrence of first generailon adult of SBPH. The occurrenceof the first generation adult of SBPH was May 11 and it was 3-day earlier than that of infantnce transplanting. The ~nd~cencofe rice vlrus diseases, rice stripe vilus (RSV) and rice black-streakeddwarf virus (RBSDV), was the most severe at seeding date May 11. and then followed by May1, May 21 and May 31 Thus the incidence of "ce virus diseases was closely related with thedensity of the first generat~on adult of SBPH Rice yield was decreased by later seeding dates, although rice yield from May 1 to May 21 was relatively stable and hqii compared with laterseeding dates. Accordingly, there was slgniilcant relatlonsh~p between rice yield and seeding datesice yield and seeding dates

The newly hatched nymphs of brown planthopper(BPH) were reared individually for two generations in test tubes, where young rice seedling was planted on agar solution, at $30^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C\;with\;95\%,\;75\%,\;65\%\;and\;35\%$ R.H. Effects of $30^{\circ}C$ on the development of BPH when compared with those of $25^{\circ}C$ are followings. Egg period, nymphal period, and adult longevity were shortened. Nymphal mortality was increased and the number of oviposited eggs was decreased. Hatchability was zero per cent because the eggs were either unfertilized or died before finishing the development. At the low temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, in comparision with $25^{\circ}C$, the developmental period of nymphs and eggs was considerably lengthened, and adult longevity was shortened, the number of oviposited eggs was decreased. The nymphal mortality was higher at high relative humidity $(above\;75\%\;RH)$ than that at low relative humidity $(under\;65\%\;RH)$. Under the condition of high relative humidities, the adult longevity was shortened, and the number of oviposited eggs was decreased.

The present work was designed to study the yield loss on rice at different appearance days of hopperburn caused by the brown planthopper(BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stal, when rice plants were infested with BPH on booting and heading stages. Dead plants were colleted from 23 days after heading stage with intervals of 5 days. Yield losses by the initation of BPH infestation was greater at tooting than at heading stage. Compared to the uninfested plot, there was a reduction in 1,000 grain weight and filled grain percentage at both stages. Positive relationship was observed between rice yield(Y) and the number of days from heading to the appearance of the hopper-burn. Regression equations calculated were; for BPH feeding from booting $\hat{Y}(g)=10.145X-16.374(r=0.9726^{**})$, and for BPH feeding from heading $\hat{Y}(g)=9.792X+26.936(r=0.8850^{**})$.

The insecticides MIPC, BPMC, carbofuran and diazinon were treated to the brown planthopper (BPH) , Nilaparvata lugens STAL, at the dose levels of $LD_{10}\;and\;LD_{50}$(by topical application)/at the rate of 40kg/ha (product base) (by dusting or broadcasting on potted rice). The BPH population in the first generation was significantly decreased in the topical treatments compared to the untreatment. The number of BPH offsprings was relatively greater at the dose level of $LD_{10}\;than\;of\;LD_{50}$. The number of nymphs, however, were greatly varied with the insecticides. The offsprings from the BPH treated with the rate of 40kg/ha showed longer nymphal periods and higher adult emergence, but except diazinon treatment, rather less egg-numbers were observed. The BPH population density was significantly decreased in general up to 38 days after treatment(DAT) in the treated pots. Among the insecticides tested, however, only diazinon induced greater number of insects at the 54 DAT compared to the untreated pots.

Plant damages and yields of the different rice cultivars to brown planthopper (BPR), Nilaparvata lugens S., were observed for the evaluation of varietal resistance in paddy fields. Twenty nine Korean cultivas were transplanted in paddy fields with three plots of no insecticide, no insecticide and fungicide, and no fungicide at Haenam, southern coastal area in 1983. Among 6 varieties with BPR resistant genes, Samgang, Gaya, Hangangchal, and Cheongcheong showed very low populations of BPR and no damages on all treatments. Milyang 30 and Wonpung among them had considerable populations of BPR. Seokwang and 23 others showed high populations and serious damages. Yield increasea(%) with insecticides were low on Gaya(12%), Samgang(29%) and Hangangchal(35%), but very high on Bongkwang(260%), Palgueum(223%), Songjeon(200%), and Guanauk(200%).

This study was conducted to analyze the relationships between resistance of brown planthopper and traits related to the lodging in rice. For the linkage analysis of traits tested in this study, a genetic linkage map was created with 162 DNA markers spanning 12 rice chromosomes based on 120 doubled haploid (DH) lines, which were derived from a cross between Samgang', a Tongil type cultivar with BPH resistance, and ‘Nagdong’, a japonica cultivar. QTLs were identified to analyze the agronomic traits including lodging by composite interval mapping. Thirteen QTLs were detected for five traits comprised of plant length (PL), 3rd internode length (3rdIL), moments (Mo), lodging index (LI), and breaking weight (BW). The relationships between the BPH resistance and agronomic traits including lodging revealed that two QTLs (qBPR7, qBPR8) were linked to traits related to lodging. Two QTLs, qBPR7 and qBPR8 on chromosome 7 (RM531-7042) and 8 (RM1148- RM544) showed associations with moments and 3rd internode length, respectively.
