Resistensi Wereng Batang Cokelat Padi, Nilaparvata lugens Stål terhadap Insektisida di Indonesia

Abstract

<p>The rice<br />brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) is a<br />major insect pest of rice and their infestations occur every<br />year in several locations in Indonesia. The use of<br />insecticides often fails to control the BPH so their<br />populations are still high that cause rice crops show<br />hopperburn and the farmer loses the yields. The<br />development of insecticide resistant in BPH population is<br />one of the factors to contribute to the failure of insecticides<br />control. We have detected the development of field<br />population BPH resistance to BPMC, carbofuran, MIPC, and<br />imidacloprid, but we do not know yet the development of<br />resistance to other insecticides to control BPH in Indonesia.<br />This paper will review several cases on BPH resistance to<br />insecticides in Indonesia and other countries that include<br />aspects of the development of resistance in the field and in<br />the laboratory, the mechanism of resistance, inheritance of<br />resistance, genomics of resistance, and resistance<br />management. A policy and further study is also suggested for<br />insecticide resistance management in Indonesia.</p>
