Integrated Management of Whitefly Pest (Paraleyrodes Minei) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786203484984)

Citrus production in the Spanish Levant is an activity with great economic importance and has cultural characteristics related to the area. In recent years, whitefly (Paraleyrodes minei) and cotton fly (Aleurothrixus floccosus) have caused damage to plant development and fruit destruction. Given the lack of environmentally friendly control methods, in this work a trial was carried out to evaluate the integrated control of whitefly and cotton fly, combining auxiliary fauna with specific treatments. The critical period for the crop in which the experiment was developed was from summer to harvest, the study and control of pests was carried out in the months of July, August and September. By means of weekly sampling the population dynamics of phytophagous and natural enemies was determined.
