Synopsis

This volume treats leafhoppers and planthoppers on a broad and comprehensive scale and it differs in that respect from other reference books currently available. The intent of the book is not only to introduce the subject matter to the student or investigator about to study leafhoppers and planthoppers for the first time, but also to be useful to specialists already in the field. The systematics and morphology of these homopterans are discussed and keys to the most economically important groups are included with illustrations. Internal morphology, sensory mechanisms of feeding, nutrition and symbiosis, acoustic communication, host plant resistance, transmission of plant pathogens, and ecology of the leafhoppers-disease-plant association are among the important topics discussed. Other pest management related topics reviewed are parasites and pathogens. Leafhopper and planthopper fauna associations in crops of world importance (beans, maize, rice) are presented in concert with evolution of host plant and insect.
