Biotic, abiotic and agronomic factors that affect adult populations of spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) in sugar cane crops in Veracruz, Mexico

High populations of the spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) may reduce yields on sugar cane. This research was aimed to quantify the effect of biotic, abiotic and agronomic factors on adult populations of the spittlebugs. Data collected was related to the number of adults captured in traps, previous-...

description High populations of the spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) may reduce yields on sugar cane. This research was aimed to quantify the effect of biotic, abiotic and agronomic factors on adult populations of the spittlebugs. Data collected was related to the number of adults captured in traps, previous-year infestation level of the sampling plot, nymph counts, weed coverage within and on the border of the plots, sampling time, insecticide and entomopathogen applications, precipitation and temperature. Fifteen plots were sampled from July 2 to October 15, 2014 in Veracruz, Mexico. The data was analyzed as a linear mixed model. Most of the captured adults (98%) were Aeneolamia contigua (Walker, 1851). The analysis showed the following significant effects: a positive relationship between adult populations and spittlebug nymphs and previous-year infestation, and a direct relationship between within-plot weed coverage and spittlebug adult populations. Weed coverage on the borders showed fluctuating effects and had not significant effect on adult populations. Temperature had a positive, significant effect as well, but precipitation and sampling time did not affect adult populations. Results are discussed as related to preventive spittlebug management.

Altas poblaciones de mosca pinta (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) pueden reducir el rendimiento de la caña de azúcar. El objetivo de este trabajo fue cuantificar la influencia de algunos factores bióticos, abióticos y agronómicos sobre las poblaciones de adultos de mosca pinta. Se compilaron registros del número de adultos capturados por trampa, grado de infestación previa de las parcelas, número de ninfas observadas, cobertura de maleza en el interior y en el borde de las parcelas, tiempo de muestreo, aplicación de insecticidas y entomopatógenos,  precipitación y temperatura. Los muestreos se realizaron en 15 parcelas del 2 de julio al 15 de octubre de 2014 en Veracruz, México. Los datos se analizaron con un modelo lineal mixto. La mayoría de los ejemplares adultos capturados (98%) fueron de Aeneolamia contigua (Walker, 1851). Los análisis indicaron los siguientes efectos significativos: se observó una relación positiva de las poblaciones de adultos con las ninfas de mosca pinta y la infestación del año previo de la parcela. Se presentó una relación directa entre la cobertura de malezas en el interior de la parcela y las poblaciones de adultos de mosca pinta. La relación de la maleza en el borde de la parcela con los adultos fue irregular y no significativa. Las poblaciones de ninfas tuvieron el efecto más claro sobre la presencia de poblaciones de adultos. La temperatura tuvo un efecto positivo significativo sobre los adultos, no así la precipitación ni el tiempo de muestreo. Se discuten los resultados en relación con aspectos de manejo preventivo de la mosca pinta.
