Abstract
The objectives of this research were to compare five cultivation methods of RD49 rice variety: germinated broadcast seed, germinated dripping seed, parachute seeding, manual transplanting and transplanting machine that affected on the population dynamics of planthoppers and leafhoppers. The research was carried out during June-September, 2019 at Bueng Bua subdistrict, Wachirabarami district, Phichit province. The direct count sampling technique was applied every 7 days after seedling stage of rice (15 days of planting). The result revealed that in all cultivation methods the five planthoppers: brown planthopper (BPH), whitebacked planthopper (WBPH), green leafhopper (GLH), zigzag leafhopper (ZLH) and white leafhopper (WLH) were found, however only BPH and GLH were found at the high numbers and the population change was obviously determined. The germinated broadcast seed method promoted the increasing of BPH at the average of 199.05 individuals per square meter through all the season, meanwhile, the transplanting machine method promoted GLH at the amount of 101.95 individuals per square meter. The tiller density was the most effect on the increasing populations of BPH up to 97.09% but it had very little effect on GLH populations. The effect of abiotic factors was very low on populations of hoppers (0-45%) in all cultivation methods.
