Abstract
Hooked epidermal appendages (trichomes) on leaves of field bean cultivars effectively capture nymph and adult leafhoppers. Frequency of capture and capture mortality are highly correlated with trichome density. Hooked trichomes inserted at angles less than 30° are ineffective in capture.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
