The impacts of transgenicBtrice on target pests and their predators need to be clarified prior to the commercialization ofBtrice. In this study, the percentages of folded leaves of three transgenicBtrice lines and non-transgenic parental rice line caused byCnaphalocrocis medinaliswere studied over two successive growing seasons. In addition, the population densities, relative abundance and population dynamics ofC. medinalisand four species of its natural arthropod predators were investigated at three sites in China. The results showed that rice line significantly affected the percentages of folded leaves and population densities ofC. medinalislarvae. Significantly higher percentages of folded leaves were observed on the non-transgenic rice compared with the three transgenicBtrice on most sampling dates. Significantly higher densities ofC. medinalislarvae and higher relative abundance ofC. medinaliswithin phytophages were found on non-transgenic rice compared with three transgenicBtrice at different sites across the study period. The population dynamics ofC. medinalislarvae were significantly affected by rice line, rice line×sampling date, rice line×year, rice line×sampling date×year. However, there was little, if any, significant difference in the relative abundance, population density and population dynamics of the four arthropod predators between the threeBtrice lines and non-transgenic rice. The results of this study indicate that theBttoxin in transgenicBtrice can effectively suppress the occurrence ofC. medinalis, but has no significant effects on the occurrence of the four predatory arthropod species.
