Soluble silicic acid from water-soluble crude extracts of rice leaf sheaths exhibited a strong sucking inhibitory property against the brown planthopper at concentrations of 0.01 mg Si/ml or more. Silicic acid seems to play a significant role in causing highly localized planthopper feeding on the phloem of rice.
