Host plant resistance promotes a secondary pest population
Ecosphere, 2020 Insecticides can cause secondary pest outbreaks that weaken the benefit of chemical pest control. These detrimental nontarget effects motivate the use of alternative pest management strategies such as host plant resistance and intercropping.

Can cover crops reduce leafhopper abundance in vineyards?
California Agriculture, 1998 In 3 of 4 vineyards we studied, late-season leafhopper density was lower on vines in cover cropped plots than in plots with no cover crops. However, the level of leafhopper reduction (about 15%) was rarely economically important and the

Surveying: Leafhopper populations [PDF]
California Agriculture, 1965 Rapid and accurate surveying for grape leafhopper population levels is essential to a decision for necessity of insecticide treatment within an integrated pest control program. These Tulare County studies indicate that counting the nymphs on only two leaves per acre gives as accurate an estimate of the population as did counting the nymphs on fifty ...

Comparison of Leafhopper Species Complexes in the Ground Cover of Sprayed and Unsprayed Peach Orchards in Michigan (Homoptera: Cicadellldae) [PDF]
, 2017 Two Michigan peach orchards were sampled for leafhoppers using a fixed-area ground sampling device attached to a D-vac®. Absolute abundance estimates indicated that routine tree insecticide applications greatly depressed leafhopper populations. This, and
