The twolined spittlebug (Prosapia bicincta Say) causes considerable damage to 'Floralta' limpograss (Hemarthria altissima [Poir] Stapf and C.E. Hubb) pastures in south Florida during the summer season. Both adults and immatures or nymphs damage grasses by inserting their needle-like mouthparts and sucking plant juices. The adults also inject toxic saliva into leaf tissue while feeding, which causes streaking on the leaves. Tips of infested grass turn yellow, followed by browning and curling. Heavily infested pasture turns brown, becomes unproductive and may die back in large patches (Figure 1). This document is SS-AGR-106, one of a series of the Agronomy Department, UF/IFAS Extension. Published October 2005. SS-AGR-106/AG242: Management of Spittlebugs in Pasture (ufl.edu)

Establishment of an excellent, uniform stand of forage in a short period of time is important. The producer needs to do everything possible to ensure successful establishment. Several requirements that must be met are briefly discussed, along with various planting methods. This revised 7-page fact sheet was written by Y.C. Newman, J. Vendramini, C.G. Chambliss, M.B. Adjei, and published by the UF Department of Agronomy, April 2011. SS-AGR-161/AG107: Forage Planting and Establishment Methods on Prepared Seedbed (ufl.edu)
