M. de aEscape behaviour of dalbulus maidis (delong and wolcott)bsubsidies for insecticide application and field sampling.h[electronic resource] c2025 a10 p. aThe study aimed to investigate the escape behavior of Dalbulus maidis, the main vector of pathogens that cause the corn stunting disease complex in Brazil, under different controlled conditions. Specifically, the researchers sought to understand how escape behavior is influenced by the time of day, insect sex, presence of pathogens, and crop conditions. The experiments were conducted in a greenhouse, simulating the conditions of the first and second corn harvest in Brazil. The insects were reared in the laboratory and separated into groups of healthy individuals and those infected with phytoplasma or spiroplasma. Escape behavior was assessed by subjecting the insects to mechanical disturbances at different times of the day and measuring the proportion of individuals that abandoned the corn plants. The results demonstrated that temperature significantly influences the escape behavior of D. maidis, with greater activity at higher temperatures. The insects tended to abandon the plants more frequently during the hottest period of the day and in the first harvest condition. Insects infected with pathogens showed less escape activity at lower temperatures. There was no significant difference in escape behavior between males and females. The study suggests that insecticide application and field sampling of D. maidis may be more effective during cooler periods of the day when the insects are less active. aDalbulus maidis aPhytoplasma aSpiroplasma aCigarrinha aInseticida aInseto aMilho aPraga de Planta aCigarrinha do milho aComportamento de fuga aPatógenos do milho1 aSILVA, R.
