The Sterile-male Technique as a Possible Method for Con- Trolling the Leafhopper Vector of Fiji Disease of Sugarcane
نویسندگان
چکیده
I t IS possible t o expose sugarcane leafhoppers to a level of gamma radiation which effectively sterilizes them witliout appearmg to affect their mating ability. The sterile Inale release procedure could be used to eradicate the insect and thus stop the transmission of Fiji disease of sugarcane. Altllough at present the procedure is too expenslve for commercial use, current work could seduce the costs to an acceptable level.

متن کاملTransmission of sugarcane white leaf phytoplasma by Yamatotettix flavovittatus, a new leafhopper vector.
Sugarcane white leaf disease is caused by plant pathogenic phytoplasmas that are transmitted to the plant by the leafhopper Matsumuratettix hiroglyphicus (Matsumura). To determine whether there are other insect vectors that transmit this disease pathogen, leafhopper species in sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum L., fields in northeastern Thailand were monitored by using light traps. Sixty-nine le...
