Abstract
The study of the insects damaging the crops and vectors of diseases of rice culture in the marshy high land of Bugorhe area in Kabare district in South Kivu province in the East of Democratic Republic of Congo was conducted from August 2012 to December 2013 on the different phases of development of the culture. Samples were collected by means of a harvest spider and a suction device after each three days for a period of three cultural seasons. Information relating to the incidence of insects, frequency and the density of destruction of plants were recorded. The methods of observation and triangulation were adopted at random to select the lots of rice and collect insects. To identify insects, all keys were adopted. Other keys as for comparing species between them, were resorted to determine the number of insects studied, we resorted to the International Rice Research Institute Key. As result we have come up to notice: Insects damaging plants vary in number and quality of the different stages of the growth of rice culture.36 Species of insects have been recorded distributed into 16 families mainly Thripidae, pentatomydae, Coeidae, Cecidomyidae, Diopsidae, Pyralidae, Noctuidae, Acridoidae, Alididae, Delphacidae, Cynipidae, Coccinellidae, Chrysamelidae, Meloidae, Cynipidae, Scarabeidae and 7orders suck as Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Thysanoptera, and Heteroptera. All the varieties of rice were attacked by the diseases of Bacteriosis, Pyriculariosis and the Rice Yellow Monttle Virus (RYMV) at the different stages of development of the plant. Species suck Nephottetis spp, are reported to be responsible of the Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (RYMV) and the bacteria as Pseudomonas fuscovaginae and the fugus sarocladium oryzae causes different forms of bacteriosis observed in the rice culture in Bugorhe area.
