Does anyone have paper about an easy and economic collection method for jassids (Cicadellidae: Hemiptera)?

04 December 2013 1 7K Report

These are small insects and difficult to collect and I would like to work on diversity of jassids in agro and forest ecosystems.

David S. Hubble

This study used a light-trap to investigate jassids on cotton http://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/bitstream/1/2033695/1/1073.pdf

This one's different as it investigates jassid parasitoids and eggs are collected by collecting the leaves of host plants (again cotton)

Here, jassid nymph are sampled by visual counting

Lastly, this article is listed on ResearchGate

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/39015106_Sampling_for_cotton_insects_5._Sampling_for_monitoring_of_cotton_jassid_populations_based_on_within-plant_distribution

I hope that's helpful - and good luck with the sampling!
