Abstract
In the extensive livestock systems of tropical America, host-plant resistance has proven to be the most efficient strategy for integrated pest management in forage grasses (i.e., Urochloa hybrids and Megathyrsus maximus) to spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) attack. Precise and efficient quantification of spittlebug damage is crucial for evaluation and selection of resistant and…
