Abstract

Plant diseases associated with phytoplasmas occur in hundreds of commercial and native plants, causing minor to extensive damage. Insect vectors including leafhoppers, planthoppers, and true bugs have been identified for relatively few phytoplasma diseases in Asia. Several important phytoplasma diseases have been reported in Asian countries that some insect vectors have been identified. This chapter will focus on the important phytoplasma diseases and their vectors in Asia. In addition, some control strategies that have been applied are described.
