Summary: | Large number of natural enemies are available in the paddy field. Their roles in suppressing brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stal), population has been for a long time in considered important. Recently by survey, over 85 species of natural enemies of the BPH have been recorded, comprise of 45 species of parasites and pathogens and more than 41 species of predators. Most important of natural enemies in Thailand are egg parasites such as Anagrus spp. and Paracentrobia spp. They are belonging to the Mymarids and Trichogrammatids, respectively. Dryinids have been identified as nymph and adult parasites such as Pseudogonatopus spp. Cyrtorhinus sp. And Tytthus sp. They are in Miridae and have been considered an effective predator. Other predators included carabids, common carnivorous beetles, Ophionea sp., Coccinellids beetles, Micraspis spp. and spiders, Lycosa sp. and Tetragnatha spp., were also effective predators. |
