What Is the Relationship Between Efficacy of Seed Treatment with Insecticides Against Dalbulus maidis (Delong and Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Healthy and Infected with Spiroplasm in the Corn Stunt Control? [PDF]

Insects
Seed treatments with insecticides are important tools for managing corn stunting disease complex (CSDC) transmitted by Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) by reducing the initial leafhoppers’ population and, consequently, the risk of pathogen ...

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 ...

Identification of Markers Associated with Wheat Dwarf Virus (WDV) Tolerance/Resistance in Barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) Using Genome-Wide Association Studies

Viruses, 2023
Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) causes an important vector transmitted virus disease, which leads to significant yield losses in barley production. Due to the fact that, at the moment, no plant protection products are approved to combat the vector Psammotettix ...
