Leafhoppers
An introduction to the life cyle and habits of the leafhopper.
Handbook for the Identification of Leafhoppers and Planthoppers of Rice
Rice is the most important cereal grown in tropical countries and sapsucking leafhoppers and planthoppers (Homoptera: Auchenorryncha) reduce yields either by direct feeding or by transmitting virus and virus-like pathogens. Effective rice pest management requires the accurate identification of any pest species and this handbook provides keys to identify over 70 leafhopper and planthopper species recorded in the major rice growing regions. All the major pest species are included, as well as others that are frequently found but not yet considered important. A comprehensive account of all these species with descriptions, diagnoses, distributions and notes on biology is given, as well a key to nymphal stages of common Asian species and details of the separation of different instars. An introduction to the morphology and taxonomic grouping of the Auchenorryncha and four pages of colour plates are also included, and the volume is completed by a comprehensive and wide-ranging bibliography.
Leafhopper Vectors and Plant Disease Agents
Leafhopper Vectors and Plant Disease Agents is the second in a multivolume series on vectors, vector-borne disease agents, and plant disease spread. This text aims to collect findings in leafhopper vector research, to suggest promising frontiers for further research, and to call attention to possible practical applications of understanding of leafhopper-pathogen-plant interactions. This book is organized into five parts. Opening chapters on the taxonomy, bionomics, and worldwide importance of leafhopper and planthopper vectors are appropriately relegated to Parts I and II. Part III focuses on vector-virus interactions of leafhopper-, planthopper-, and aphid-borne viruses and virus-induced, c...
The Clover Leafhopper and Its Control in the Central States
"The control of the injurious clover leafhopper ... is a comparatively simple task to one acquainted with the habits of the insect. The injuries caused by this insect, as is the case with many other leafhoppers, are often overlooked because of the minute size of the pest, and the apparent injury is too frequently attributed to such causes as soil and climatic conditions"--Introduction (p.1).
