Saltahojas (Typhlocybinae) y su relación con los síntomas de enfermedades en un campo de frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

The objectives of this study were the identification of the species of leafhoppers present in a production field of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (Cuba Cueto range 25-11) in Güines, Mayabeque, Cuba, and the observation of their relationships with disease symptoms on the plants. For this, 30 plants from three plots were sampled every seven days from January to March 2015. The collected insects were cleared and mounted on slides to be identified using taxonomic keys. A cladogram was constructed to analyze the relationships between disease symptoms on the plants and the insects. The leafhoppers identified were Empoasca kraemeri Ross and Moore, Empoasca fabae Harris, and Empoasca papayae Oman. The plants showed symptoms representative of hopperburn, phytoplasma and virus diseases, which were related to vectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
