Effect of silicon application to Eucalyptus camaldulensis on the population of Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae)

Abstract: The use of silicon in forestry has increased recently as it is directly related to improved resistance to insect pests. The red gum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei, occurs in all eucalypt producing regions in Brazil. Two field experiments were conducted to study the effect of silicon applied to Eucalyptus camaldulensis on the psyllid population. In the first experiment, the applications were made via soil (calcium silicate) and leaves (potassium silicate) in a nine months old E. camaldulensis plantation.… Show more

“…Glycaspis brimblecombei nymphs and adults cause damage by sucking plant phloem sap through their straw‐like mouthparts (de Queiroz, Melissa, Camargo, Dedecek, & Oliveira, ; Tuller et al, ; Wylie & Speight, ). It feeds on both young and mature leaves (de Queiroz et al, ; Tuller et al, ) and can thus infest trees of any age (de Queiroz et al, ).…”

“…Glycaspis brimblecombei nymphs and adults cause damage by sucking plant phloem sap through their straw‐like mouthparts (de Queiroz, Melissa, Camargo, Dedecek, & Oliveira, ; Tuller et al, ; Wylie & Speight, ). It feeds on both young and mature leaves (de Queiroz et al, ; Tuller et al, ) and can thus infest trees of any age (de Queiroz et al, ). Severe infestation results in defoliation, shoot and branch dieback and, in extreme cases, death of some highly susceptible species (Huerta, Faúndez, & Araya, ; Pogetto, Wilcken, Gimenes, De Souza Christovam, & Prado, ; Wylie & Speight, ).…”
