Potential damages, seasonal abundance and distribution of Empoasca terminalis Distant (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) on soybean in South Sulawesi
Plant damages caused by leafhopper, <em>Empoasca terminalis</em> Distant (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) on soybean were first encountered in 2007 in Makassar, South Sulawesi. The insect has been constantly associated with soybean crops in the province ever since. The purposes of the present s...

The purposes of the present study were to (i) evaluate potential yield loss attributable to the leafhopper in an experimental set up, (ii) seasonal abundance of<em> E. terminalis</em>, and (iii) distribution of<em> E. terminalis</em> in all major soybean-producing areas in the province.
