Preference of Forcipata loca (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) adults to
forage plants.
Quisenberry, S | Macrae, TC | Yonke, TR
Environmental Entomology [ENVIRON. ENTOMOL.]. Vol. 12, no. 4, pp.
1149-1153. 1983.
The host suitability of Forcipata loca DeLong and Caldwell was
determined in a series of feeding and oviposition tests conducted
in the laboratory and field. The plants tested included forage and
weed species commonly found in Missouri pastures. Visual
examination of plants, radioisotope labeling, and adult survival
and oviposition were techniques used to determine host
suitability. Twenty one test plants were acceptable food hosts,
and 12 also were acceptable breeding hosts. The majority of plants
belonged to the family Gramineae, and three belonged to the
closely related family Cyperaceae.
