Abstract

The population dynamics of three vectors of rice tungro viruses (RTV), Nephotettix virescens (Distant), N. nigropictus (Stål) and Recilia dorsalis (Motschulsky), were investigated in farmers' fields in the Philippines from 1979 to 1984. R. dorsalis was the most abundant vector species on the rice seedbeds and weed covered levees between rice-growing seasons, whereas N. virescens was the most abundant on the rice crop. Population curves for the three species were similar in the same season, suggesting common population-regulating processes. Adults and nymphs of all three species were present at the sampling site during a four-month fallow period between crops.
