The invention provides a method for evaluating the rice
planthopper-resistant property of rice. The method includes the steps that: (1) a nylon net
greenhouse is constructed; (2) rice varieties, which include a rice variety to be tested, a pest-resistant check variety and a pest-susceptible variety, are planted in the
greenhouse; and the pest-susceptible variety is planted around each variety to serve as rice
planthopper-inducing rows; (3) the dosage of nitrogenous
fertilizer is 200kg / ha to 250kg / ha; (4) at the early tillering stage of all the varieties, 2.5 percent of
deltamethrin emulsifiable concentrate or 20 percent of triazophos emulsifiable concentrate is used for killing all pests and
natural enemies in the net; (5) 10 days after the step 4, adult rice planthoppers are put on the pest-susceptible check variety (TN1) planted around the rice variety to be tested, 5 to 10 pairs per clump, and are freely and naturally propagated and randomly transferred to the variety to be tested; (6) after the step 5, when all of the pest-susceptible check variety in the test field dies, the resistance of each variety is evaluated, wherein the rice variety to be tested has
high resistance when the death rate of the rice variety to be tested is less than 10 percent, pest resistance when the death rate is 11 percent to 30 percent, medium resistance when the death rate is 31 percent to 50 percent, medium susceptibility when the death rate is 51 percent to 70 percent, and pest susceptibility when the death rate is higher than 70 percent. The method has the advantages of simplicity and high
operability, and accords with production reality.
