Control methods
Parasitic wasps could control glassy-winged sharpshooters
"Since the early 90s, grape growers in Riverside and San Diego counties have battled the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), an insect that spreads Pierce's disease and causes millions in damages to vineyards. In a new study, scientists have discovered how to reduce the number of sharpshooters without harming non-target organisms, progress that moves one step closer to a solution in the fight against this prolific pest."

Parasitism of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca coagulata (Homoptera: Cicadellidae): Functional response and superparasitism by Gonatocerus ashmeadi (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) (abstract)
The functional response by the egg parasitoid, Gonatocerus ashmeadi, and superparasitism of Homalodisca coagulata eggs were found to be related to host age and density when studied under laboratory conditions.
Development and application of a glassy-winged and smoke-tree sharpshooter egg-specific predator gut content ELISA (abstract)
