Pioneering field research on the reed glass-winged planthopper (Pentastiridius leporinus)
The reed glass-winged planthopper (Pentastiridius leporinus) has emerged as one of the most closely watched pests in European arable farming. By transmitting plant pathogens, it poses a growing risk to crop productivity and farm profitability, making effective management strategies a priority for both researchers and practitioners.
Near Schönebeck (Germany), we are conducting one of the largest field studies on this species to date, using 208 emergence tents to quantify population responses to different agronomic practices. Through species-level identification and weekly monitoring, we aim to determine which management approaches most effectively suppress planthopper populations under field conditions.
The trial evaluates different tillage systems, crop types, a biological fungal treatment, and the role of crop residues. As part of our second experimental season, we are addressing key knowledge gaps and generating practical insights for integrated pest management. The most promising approaches will be validated in 2027 field trials, providing the basis for robust, science-driven recommendations for growers.
The harvest of Barley 2026 started right now!
With our modern equiment we can deliver the results in a fast way!
