The effect of weed species on the survival and reproduction of Green Leafhopper Nephotettix virescens (Distant)
Keywords:
Green leafhoppers, Weeds, Survival ratesAbstract
This study aimed to assess the effect of different weed species on the survival and reproductive success of the green leafhopper Nephotettix virescens and to determine which weed species that can to supports leafhopper survival. The study was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications across three weed types (Leersia hexandra, Cyperus rotundus, Echinochloa crusgalli) and rice (Oryza sativa) as a control. Research results showed that N. virescens has the longest survival on rice, followed by the weeds of Leersia hexandra, Cyperus rotundus, and Echinochloa crusgalli (Fc = 23.79; P= 0.01). The highest of offspring number was observed on rice, be followed on Cyperus rotundus, Leersia hexandra, and Echinochloa crus-galli (Fc = 8.45; P = 0.01). Cyperus rotundus and Leersia hexandra could supported the survival and reproduction of N. virescens.
