褐飞虱为单食性害虫,主要以稻属植物为寄主,是六十年代以来亚洲太平洋地区的主要害虫之一。该虫繁殖力强,世代短,具有随气团迁移的特性,在台湾各地均可越冬,因此台湾地区褐飞虱族群有越冬型和迁入型。由于族群生态比东北亚地区复杂,因此,抗药性问题的研究益显突出。1976年以前,台湾在褐飞虱药剂防治方面的资料甚少,1976年后,则围绕着药剂感受性,进行了药剂试验、抗药性侦测,虫源问题等研究。据有关报道,将其研究情况整理如下: Nilaparvata lugens (Nilaparvata lugens) is a simplex pest mainly hosted by Oryza, one of the major pests in the Asia Pacific region since the 1960s. The insect reproductive ability, generation is short, with the characteristics of the migration of air masses throughout the winter can be in Taiwan, so the population of the region of Taiwan’s brown planthopper overwintering and moving into the type. As ethnic ecology is more complicated than in Northeast Asia, the research on drug resistance has become more prominent. Before 1976, there was very little information on the prevention and control of BPH in Taiwan. After 1976, pharmacological tests were conducted around the area. Drug resistance testing, insect source detection and other studies were carried out. According to relevant reports, the research situation is summarized as follows:
