Rice is the main staple food for half of the world’s global population. One of the superior rice variety indicators is resistance to brown planthopper. The study was aimed to analyze several West Sumatera rice varieties against brown planthopper. The research was conducted in the screen house, Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University, Padang, Indonesia from April to October 2018. A completely randomized design was used in this study. Nine rice genotypes and one control variety were used in this assay. The treatment was replicated three times. The result showed that Batang Sungkai was the best genotype in resistance based on the attack intensity.
