Both nymphal and adult spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) cause serious economic damage to susceptible brachiariagrass [genus Biachiaria (Trin.) Griseb], pastures in tropical America. Both life stages are xylem feeders: nymphs feed primarily on roots and stems, whereas the adults feed mainly on ...

Independence of Resistance in Brachiaria spp. to Nymphs or to Adult Spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae): Implications for Breeding for Resistance
Several species and genera of spittlebugs (Homoptera: Cercopidae) are economic pests of grasses in tropical America. They have the potential to cause serious losses on millions of hectares of improved pastures based on cultivars of several species of Brachiaria. Most of the available commercial c...

An improved methodology for massive screening of Brachiaria spp. genotypes for resistance to Aeneolamia varia (Homoptera: Cercopidae)
La generación e identificación de híbridos de Brachiaria spp. con altos niveles de resistencia a Aeneolamia varia (F.) y la caracterización de los mecanismos de resistencia a otras especies de salivazo, son aspectos muy importantes en un programa de mejoramiento de forrajes que se basa en el sigu...
