Impacts of bacterial inoculation on the performance of SSB larvae. Axenically reared insects were inoculated with 2 bacterial isolates on artificial diet for 2 days and transferred to rice plants. A Growth of SSB larvae were analyzed when fed on artificial diet inoculated with Enterobacter and Acinetobacter (F(2,100) = 1.118, P = 0.3309; n = 34–35). B The penetration rate of SSB larvae inoculated with Enterobacter and Acinetobacter within 3 days of feeding on rice plants were measured (F(2, 6) = 19.06, P = 0.0025; n = 3). Values are means ± SEM. Different letters above bars indicate statistically significant differences between treatments based on an ANOVA followed by LSD test (P < 0.05). Buffer, SSB larvae inoculated with 10 mM of MgCl2 solution; Enterobacter + , SSB larvae inoculated with cells of Enterobacter; Acinetobacter+, SSB larvae inoculated with cells of Acinetobacter
