We conducted trials against the glassy-winged sharp shooter (GWSS) and found groups of insecticides that can be used against immature and adult GWSS. Trials were conducted with conventional and biorational insecticides. Some are organically acceptable. This research provides information for selectively choosing insecticides as components of management programs.

Species 1: Homoptera Cicadellidae Homalodisca coagulata (Glassy-winged sharpshooter)
Keywords: Pierce's disease, citrus
