Incidence and host plants for Amrasca biguttula (Ishida) from Kolhapur Region, India

Abstract: 

Amrasca biguttula biguttula (Ishida) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is polyphagous pest of many agricultural and nonagricultural plants. It sucks the cell sap from leaves, flowers, fruits and tender stems and affects the growth of crop plants adversely. It also creates sooty mould on crop leaves which affect photosynthesis, growth and yield of the crops. A. biguttula biguttula attacked Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) and Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) throughout the year. It was also found attacking Sunflower Helianthus annus L., Cowpea Vigna unguiculata L., China Rose (Hibiscus rosasinensis L.), Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan Millsp.) and several grasses including durva lawns (Cynodon dactylon L.). Occurrence of the Jassid and its damage to different plants is discussed in the paper.
