A brief report on preliminary studies, during 1928, of leafhopper injury to legumes. Among the 15 species of Homoptera tested in cages on various legumes, only Empoasca fabae (Harris) caused the injury, which was serious on alfalfa, red clover, white clover, non-pubescent soybean, peanut, and sainfoin.

Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

ABSTRACT Within the subfamily Heliothinae, the genus Helicoverpa comprises several highly destructive agricultural pests, including H. armigera, H. assulta, H. punctigera and H. zea. These species cause significant global crop losses due to their wide host range, long‐distance migratory behaviour, and potential for interspecific hybridization.

Sap-sucking Hemiptera, tending ants, and Sternorrhyncha predators on Acacia auriculiformis saplings fertilized with dehydrated sewage sludge [PDF]
Soil fertilization with dehydrated sewage sludge accelerates the recovery process of degraded areas, improving nutrient concentration, and favors the development of webs with pioneer plants such as Acacia auriculiformis and insects.

Previous investigations of mutualistic associations between ants and plants bearing extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) or between ants and trophobiont leafhoppers have studied these relationships separately, but nothing is known on how ant abundance responds ...

Faunistic Study of Auchenorrhyncha in Olive Orchards in Greece, Including First Records of Species
The study of Auchenorrhyncha species composition in Greek olive orchards is crucial due to the potential threat of Xylella fastidiosa invading the region. Recent studies have begun exploring agricultural landscapes, particularly olive and citrus orchards.
