Abstract:
The effect of pest resistant transgenic rice MH86
CpTI and MH86
CpTI+Bton arthropod community diversity in Fuzhou rice fields was investigated. Results show that arthropod community in pest resistant transgenic rice fields can be classified into initial,unsteady and development communities.From tillering stage to waxy ripe stage of rice,species and individual number of arthrop od communities collected are as follows:CK>MH86
CpTI>MH86
CpTI+Btand CK>MH86
CpTI>MH86
CpTI+Bt;both general diversity index and index of evenness are all CK>MH86
CpTI>MH86
CpTI+Bt.No significant difference of diversity is recorded between arthropod community in pest resistant transgenic rice fields and non-transgenic rice fields.At the early and late rice growth stages,the dominant pests in the transgenic rice fields are
Nephotettix concticeps and
Nilaparavate lugens respectively.
