Abstract: Effects of acquisition-sequence of corn stunt spiroplasma and maize bushy phytoplasma on phytoplasma transmission by Dalbulus maidis, were studied under different environmental conditions. Acquisition of spiroplasma before phytoplasma and lower air temperatures reduced phytoplasma-detection frequency in leafhoppers and in plants. Results suggest that phytoplasma development could be reduced by spiroplasma competition and low air temperatures.
