Observations on the Life Cycle of Dalbulus Maidis on Three Plant Species
Abstract
Dalbulus maidis (Delong and Wolcott) preferred corn to gamagrass or Johnsongrass for adult survival and oviposition. Incubation periods for eggs in these plants were approximately the same. Developmental period from eclosion to adult was shorter on corn than on gamagrass, whereas nymphs did not survive on Johnsongrass. Leafhoppers reared on corn weighed .0003 mg (average per insect) more than leafhoppers reared on gamagrass.Downloads
