Comparison of two sampling methods for leafhoppers (Homoptera, Cicadellidae) associated with sesame in the east Mediterranean region of Turkey

Abstract: Yellow sticky-traps and a modified, Johnson-Taylor suction-trap were used to index the relative population dynamic of leafhoppers associated with sesame in the east Mediterranean, region of Turkey: Comparison of the obtained results signified important differences between both traps. 32 leafhoppers species were caught in the suction-trap while only 18 species were determined on yellow sticky-traps. For most of the leafhopper species, relatively more males were determined on the yellow traps than in the suction-trap, indicating a higher activity of male leafhoppers during daytime hours. A close relationship between the seasonal flight pattern as indexed by sticky-traps and by suction-trap was only observed for Asymmetrasca decedens (Paoli) and Empoasca decipiens Paoli. For most othe leafhopper species no or only a very poor correlation for the relative population dynamic was determined between both traps. Important leafhopper vector species e.g., Circulifer haematoceps (Mulsant et Rey) and Orosius orientalis (Matsumura) were better represented in yellow sticky trap catches than they were in the suction trap.
