Biofoam of Spittlebug, Poophilus costalis (Walker): Preferential Sites, Temperature Regulation, Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Spittlebugs produce foam in either nodes or internodes on stems of Theporsia purpurae (100%) and Mimosa pudica (100%), to establish and protect their young. However, this reduces the photosynthetic capacity of the plants. The surface area of the foam is higher for Lawsonia inermis (1...
