Abstract：
To screen alternative insecticides for controlling the whitebacked planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth), toxicities of 21 insecticides fallen into seven categories against the third instar nymphs of Sogatella furcifera, which were collected from Jiangpu District, Nanjing, China were evaluated by the rice stem dipping method in 2006 and 2007. The results indicated that thiamethoxam, buprofezin and imidacloprid had the highest toxicities (LC50=0.04-0.26 mg/L); nitenpyram, butylenefipronil, pymetrozine, acetamiprid, imidaclothiz, chlorpyrifos and fipronil showed good efficacy (LC50＜4.50 mg/L), suggesting that the above insecticides were potential alternatives to highlytoxic insecticides for field trials. Although isoprocarb and dichlorvos showed less efficacy (LC50＞19.85 mg/L), these two insecticides were also recommended as the alternatives because they are being applied widely in practice. According to the yeartoyear variation in susceptibility of Sogatella furcifera to the insecticides between 2006 and 2007， it was noted that the susceptibilities to chlorpyrifos, isoprocarb, carbosulfan, metolcarb were significantly reduced, with the reducing rate of 2.0 to 2.5fold. With continuous selection with imidacloprid for 15 generations, the LC50 of the population collected from Jiangpu in 2006 increased by 4.33fold and its realized heritability (h2) was 0.2295. In addition, integrated management strategies for the whitebacked planthopper were also proposed.
