Abstract

The feeding, growth, activity and reproduction of two homopteran species, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch) and Peregrinus maidis (Ashm.) were measured on sorghum plants of different heights. Both species had markedly poorer growth on smaller sorghum plants. The poor growth was found to be associated with less time spent feeding and a corresponding increase in activity
