Heavy infestation of sugarcane leafhopper Pyrilla perpusilla Walker (Hemiptera: Lophopidae) was observed on wheat and oats in Chhattisgarh. On an average, 27.10 and 29.10 adults and nymphs/plant were found on wheat and oats, respectively. Both adults and nymphs suck the sap from leaves and secrete honey dew which resulted in sooty mould development.
