Deltocephalus is a leafhopper genus in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. [1]
Deltocephalus vulgaris is a vector of the sugarcane grassy shoot disease. [2]
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility lists: [3]
Sugarcane grassy shoot disease (SCGS), is associated with 'Candidatus Phytoplasma sacchari' which are small, pleomorphic, pathogenic mycoplasma that contribute to yield losses from 5% up to 20% in sugarcane. These losses are higher in the ratoon crop. A higher incidence of SCGS has been recorded in some parts of Southeast Asia and India, resulting in 100% loss in cane yield and sugar production.
