Abstract:The incidence of the disease and occurrence of the disease’s vector, the small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus Falln, were investigated systematically in rice production region of Henan Province along the Yellow River in 2006 and 2007, the viruliferous rate of SBPH was detected, and control efficiency of different methods against rice stripe virus were tested in the field. The results indicated that the peak period of adult SBPH migrated from wheat to rice appeared from end-May to mid-June, which was obviously related to the peak of the disease from July 4th to July 20th. The viruliferous rate of SBPH at 5 different places was 15.4%-62.5%, with a large variation among districts. The good control efficiency of rice strip virus was achieved by control number of SBPH in nursery. The control efficiency using insect-proof screen and spraying imidacloprid before transplanting was 73.72%-88.40%. The control efficiency of seed dressing using fipronil and spraying imidacloprid before transplanting was 70.48%-76.82%. The control efficiency of spraying imidacloprid+dichlorvos and spraying fipronil alone were 78.85%-82.47% and 77.18%-83.88%, respectively.
