Brown plant hopper in Paddy crop

  • crescent-shaped white eggs inserted into the midrib of the leaf sheath
  • white to brown nymphs
  • brown or white adults feeding near the base of tillers
  • The feeding damage caused by planthoppers results in the yellowing of the plants. 
  • At high population density, hopper burn or complete drying of the plants is observed. At this level, crop loss maybe 100%.
