Complete and balanced nutrition has always been the first line of plant defense due to the
direct involvement of mineral elements in plant protection. Mineral elements affect plant …

The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) is one of the most important maize
(Zea mays L.) pests in Latin America because of its ability to efficiently transmit pathogens …

Engineered nanoparticles have provided a basis for innovative agricultural applications,
specifically in plant disease management. In this interdisciplinary study, by conducting …

Abstract Background Magnesium (Mg), as an essential mineral element for plants and
microbes, can have both indirect as well as direct effects on disease. Balanced nutrition is …

Plant root pathogens invade the soil around plant roots, disturbing the systemic balance,
reducing plant defenses, and causing severe disease. At present, there are few studies on …

BACKGROUND The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), spreads
maize stunt pathogens and requires timely and effective crop protection. We determined the …

Despite the importance of D albulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott)(H emiptera: C icadellidae)
as a vector of maize‐stunting pathogens, it is not understood how this leafhopper survives …

The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis is a specialist herbivore that attacks maize in the
tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. It is the vector of three relevant plant …

Despite increasing knowledge about the impacts of pathogens on the interactions between
plants and insect vectors, relatively little is known about their effects on other, non-vector …
