Abstract

Nysius species are one of the emerging pests of perilla crop in Korea. Seed weight loss and germination of perilla seeds caused by Nysius plebeius were studied by exposing perilla seeds cv. Deulsaem to six insect infestation levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 individual) for 3 and 5 days in the laboratory. The seed weight loss and germination rate were significantly affected by infestation levels and feeding durations. The feeding impacts on seeds increased with increasing in bug density and duration. The higher seed weight loss, and weak germination were recorded at higher bug density (25 individuals) for longer (5 days) feeding duration. The triphenyl tetrazolium chloride, TTC, showed lower seed viability for damaged seeds than undamaged seeds. The outcomes of the study are discussed in terms of impacts of perilla seed bugs infestation, and suggest longer field exposure of perilla seeds to seed bugs may bring lower yield with poor quality of seeds and low germination potential of seeds. Future studies should examine the changes in nutrient contents of seeds after exposed to perilla seed bugs.
