Abstract
Summary The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong), one of the most important pests of maize throughout Latin America, was found in greater numbers within conventional maize that received agrochemicals compared to the adults found within the organic-polyculture maize crop. This pattern is reported for first time in the present study in an organic-polyculture of maize. Sumario La chicharrita del maíz, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong), una de las plagas más importantes del maíz en América Latina, se encontró en gran abundancia dentro de maíz cultivado en forma convencional que recibieron agroquímicos comparado a los adultos encontrados dentro de un policultivo orgánico de maíz. Este patrón es reportado por primera vez en este estudio en un policultivo orgánico de maíz.

Florida Entomologist is the official journal of the Florida Entomological Society. Volumes 1-3 were published under the name The Florida Buggist. The Florida Entomological Society still produces the traditionally printed version of Florida Entomologist, but you can also view, search, or print any article published since June 1917 by accessing online files. Web access is made possible by the Society’s electronic publication project begun in 1993
