WHO CAUSES IT?
Empoasca sp., commonly known as leafhoppers, leafhoppers, leafhoppers or cigarreras, is a group of insects belonging to the family Cicadellidae. These insects are small, generally green, and have a great jumping capacity. Adults deposit their eggs in the tissue of host plants. From these eggs emerge nymphs, which go through several molts until they become adults. Nymphs and adults feed by sucking plant sap, which provides them with the nutrients necessary for their development and reproduction. This feeding process causes damage to plants due to loss of sap and injection of toxins that interfere with normal plant growth. The populations of Empoasca sp. They can grow rapidly in favorable conditions, which can lead to severe infestations in short periods of time.
