Abstract:As the most important vector of some plant virus transmission, the populations of small brown planthoppers, Laodelphax striatellus ( Falln) ( SBPH) were trended to increase in recent years, and it caused serious damage to rice plant . Thousands of standard larvae must be supplied in order to carry the research of tox icity bioassay and resistance selection. A rice seedling feeding method of mass rearing the small brown planthopper was presented in this paper. The use of feeding box makes the operation more convenient, and in winter feeding with wheat seedling is similar to the fact that the small brown planthopper on the wheat growing in the farmland.
