i5K Comments for Nilaparvata lugens
No. 1 pest of rice in World. Direct damage and vector of "stunt" viruses. found in SE Asia and as far North as Japan and Korea, and as far East as India and perpahs farther.

Feeds in xylem, not phloem like aphids. Causes unique and diagnostic "hopper burn" injury. Plant resistance breaking biotypes. Biotypes reared in culture at IRRI, Los Banos, Philippines. Potential invasive species to US.

Novel behaviours. Migratory. High N fertilizers and insecticide use causes increases in BPH fecundity and attributed to outbreaks. Insecticide resistance.

Extensively studied. Associated stunt viruses extensively studied.

-monophagous on rice -life cycle is 30 days -easy to culture in the lab -exhibits wing dimorphism (short-winged and long-winged. when nutrient resources are deficient and insect density high, this insect forms long-wings and migrate) -karyotype data (n=30) -genomic information of Brown planthopper (BPH) is unavailable. -37,000 high quality ESTs produced by Noda et al 2008. - numerous BPH outbreaks recorded in 1960s, 2005-2011. excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers and insecticides lead to increased fecundity

- millions of hectares of rice fields damaged due to outbreaks which threatened food security		 Kevin A. Shufran
