Antibiotic (AB) treatment suppressed the penetration ability and growth of Chilo suppressalis (SSB) larvae on rice plants. A The mass gain of field-collected SSB larvae at 3rd instar was measured after 2 days of feeding on artificial diets with or without AB (Unpaired t-test; t = 1.021, df = 38, P = 0.3137, n = 20). CK, artificial diet without adding AB; + AB, artificial diet contained AB. B The penetration rate of field collected SSB larvae with or without AB treatment within 3 days of feeding on rice plants (Unpaired t-test; t = 5.814, df = 8, P = 0.0004, n = 5). C The mass gain of field-collected SSB larvae with or without AB treatment that had successfully bored inside rice stems (Unpaired t-test; t = 6.974, df = 28, P < 0.001, n = 15). Values are means ± SEM, and asterisks indicate significant differences between treatments (n.s., not significant; ***, P < 0.001). SSB-AB, field-collected SSB larvae without AB treatment; SSB + AB, field-collected SSB larvae with AB treatment
