The article reports on a study of the brown planthopper "Nilaparvata lugens" (N. lugens) resistance to insecticide neonicotinoid. It mentions that the brown planthopper and its resistance to the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid is a major concern in crop production. The study examines twenty-four samples of N. lugens from several countries including India, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam for resistance to imidacloprid. It found that mortality rates of samples decreased from 2005 to 2006 and that the resistance of N. lugens is spreading.
