Abstract
We investigated the factors shaping the abundance of Philaenus spumarius within four olive orchards in central and coastal Tuscany. For each of the selected locations a previous survey was performed to study the landscape composition surrounding the olive orchard at a small spatial scale (250 m). Observations of the juvenile instars were conducted following EFSA supporting pubblication 2019.EN1628. Adult insect sampling was performed by both entomological sweep net and by unbaited yellow sticky traps. Differences in Philaenus populations and their development in relation to site features and orchard management is discussed.
