- Intervention effect Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs and adults caused significant forage grass damage.
- Intervention effect Silicon did not sufficiently lessen damage through forage grass growth and development.
- Intervention effect Nitric oxide did not sufficiently lessen damage through forage grass growth and development.
- Intervention effect Silicon did not negatively alter M. spectabilis biological parameters or diminish its population.
- Intervention effect Nitric oxide did not negatively alter M. spectabilis biological parameters or diminish its population.
- Intervention effect Silicon treatment increased forage grass phenolic concentrations.
- Intervention effect Adult insect attack increased forage grass phenolic concentrations.
- Method / resource Phenolic concentrations were not useful for predicting spittlebug resistance.
- Recommendation The authors recommend further study of silicon-induced physiological and biochemical changes.
- Recommendation Silicon and nitric oxide applications are not currently viable for effective economical M. spectabilis management on Brachiaria ruziziensis.
- Recommendation Silicon and nitric oxide applications are not currently viable for effective economical M. spectabilis management on Digitaria sp.
