Sustainable control of Dalbulus maidis: A field study with entomopathogenic fungi
Entomologia Experimentalis et ApplicataAbstractSince its first report in Brazil in 1938, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) has been considered a secondary pest for maize. However, this insect has now become a key corn pest and the main phytosanitary threat to production in Brazil due to its potential to transmit pathogens.
