Abstract

The Tibraca limbativentris is a pest that causes rice crop damage and may lead to grain yield reductions of up to 90%. The most commonly used tactic for T. limbativentris control is chemical, which causes adverse effects on the environment. This study was conducted to identify sources of antixenosis and antibiosis resistance to T. limbativentris mediated by the hardness and diameter of the stem of the rice plant. Antibiosis and antixenosis tests were carried out with 22 rice genotypes of Brazilian and Asian origin. The Canela de Ferro, BRS Esmeralda, and Desconhecido Branco genotypes had the lowest proportions of stems showing symptoms of the damage caused by T. limbativentris. Canela de Ferro, Primavera, and IR 22 genotypes had the lowest nymphs survivorship and the genotypes Marabá Branco, Marabá, Skirivimankoti, Pepita, BR IRGA 409, Curinga, IR 40, Bonança, Desconhecido Branco, Bico Ganga, Primavera, and BRS Esmeralda were the least attractive to the insects. The genotypes BRS Esmeralda, Primavera, Desconhecido Branco, and Canela de Ferro were resistant to the rice stalk stink bug by antibiosis and/or antixenosis.These genotypes can be used directly by rice farmers for T. limbativentris management. Molecular biology studies should be conducted to identify and characterize resistance genes in these genotypes so that they can be used in breeding programs.
