Analysis of the feeding behaviours of tea green leafhoppers on resistant to sensible cultivars of tea plants by electrical penetration graphy techniques
Tea green leafhopper,Empoasca vitis G.the,is the most important pest in tea plantation communi-ties in China,and various tea cultivars exhibit resistance or sensibility for the pest.Electrical penetration graphy(EPG) is a new technique that is used to detect the resistance of crops against leafhopper and other pierc-ing-sucking pests.During the present work,the 6 elite cultivars,being extended in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province,were acted as the examining material,and the feeding behaviours of the leafhopper ...
