| abstract |
A method for stimulating an induced insect resistance of rice is provided, which is effective to rice planthoppers, including Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella furcifera , and Laodelphax striatellus . The present invention increases the resistance of the rice against rice planthoppers through p-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid, thereby decreasing damages of the rice planthoppers to the rice. Through applying the p-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid having a certain concentration to the rice, the rice generates the induced resistance against the rice planthoppers, which obviously decreases a survival rate of nymphs of the rice planthoppers. |
