What is a glassy sharpshooter?

A inclined sharpshooter is a type of insects reducing leaves from the southeastern United States. Insects do not represent any serious problems on its native soil, but as an invasive species threatens crops in other parts of the United States. The greatest concern is the crop of grapes in California, which is very vulnerable to pierce disease infection, a bacterial infection carried by the inclined sharpshooter. As a result, public interest in insects has increased since its first identification in California in 1990. Formally, a glassy shy sharpshooter is known as homalodisca coagulata . The insects have a length of about half an inch (12 millimeters) with dark brown to black bodies marked with large cream white spots. The general name of the insects comes from its transparent wings, which look a bit like a very thin glass. The range of Glassy-winged sharpshooter in the southeast is quite extensive and believes that the insects caught the scoverDu to California in crops balanced from the south.

In addition to Pierce's disease, glassy sharpshooters with sharpshooters can carry a range of other mushrooms and bacteria. They are ideal vectors of disease transmission because they are so greedy and consume their own weight many times a day. As a result, they can travel far and contaminate fresh crops with bacterial infections from other regions. In 1990, the glass wing was identified as a culprit for infection of Pierce's disease in South California and insects is located north.

Pierce's disease is an infection caused by bacteria xylellastidiosa . It infects the xylem of plants, which is a structure responsible for the transmission of water and nutrients. Within Yucho infection, the infected plant has dried up and died and must be destroyed because there is no medicine for Pierce's disease. This exposes the grapes industry at a serious risk and because grapes and wine are mainlyBy exporting California, several state organizations joined forces to fight against a glass sharpshooter using various techniques.

Identification is perhaps one of the most important techniques. Many biologists have set traps around the state to catch insects for later identification. This can provide information about the populations of the surrounding insects and their life cycles, and it can be a timely warning system for the invasion of inclined sharpshooters. Many biologists also work directly with farmers, in the hope that it will come up with innovative techniques to combat the threat.
