Abstract:
... Pest control is easier and more effective when pests are correctly identified. The Black Parlatoria Scale, Parlatoria ziziphi (Lucas, 1853) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) is an important invasive pest in citrus-growing countries. This diaspidid has historically been difficult to control, because its immature stages are difficult to identify due to confusion with similar Parlatoria species. ...

Abstract:
... Ceratitis capitata (or medfly) is one of the major pests currently affecting fruit crops in northwestern Argentinian Citrus-producing areas. Medfly populations are sustained in large exotic fruits, such as Citrus paradisi, Citrus aurantium and Citrus sinensis, which are known to hinder the activity of almost all native parasitoid species. Therefore, a feasible approach to controlling medfly involv ...
