Leafhoppers and planthoppers include some of the most devastating insect pests of plants throughout the world. Due to the widespread economic importance of hoppers and their use on model systems, this book addresses appropriate and specific methodology for their study. It aims to provide a reference manual for laboratory and field techniques for those new to the subject as well as those competent in one or more areas; it describes techniques to such a degree that access to modern library facilities is not necessary; it provides a bibliographic resource and supplier's listing, and describes the advantages and limitations of methodologies.
