The book discusses planthopper pests of rice. These insects are one
of the most destructive pests, threatening food security around the
world. The historical development of the rice planthopper problem
shows that they are secondary pests and single-discipline control
tactics or strategies were not able to manage them, and instead
caused frequent resurgences. This book not only presents new
approaches to this persistent problem, but also new ecological
methods, new perspectives on the effect of pesticide marketing,
insights into developing resistant varieties and structural reforms
in pest management. Integrating biological, ecological, economic
and sociological aspects, it clearly presents the latest
information on newly developed strategies for managing this pest.
Dr. K. L. Heong is the principal scientist and insect ecologist at
the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines. He has been
researching rice planthoppers for more than 30 years. Dr. Heong is
a fellow of the Third World Academy of Science and the Academy of
Sciences, Malaysia. Professor Jia-an Cheng is an insect ecologist
who has been studying rice planthoppers for about 50 years. He is a
professor at Zhejiang University, China. Professor M.M. Escalada
works at Visayas State University.
