Allsopp, P.G., & Hogarth, D.M. 2001 I think pink ground pearls might be feeding on my crop -- what can I do?. Proceedings of the 2001 Conference of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists 199-203.

Notes: [Conference held at held at Mackay, Queensland, Au 2001.] The morphology (at different developmental stages), development, and reproduction of pink ground pearl (Eumargarodes laingi) are reviewed. Use of the proper insecticide or cultural control mechanisms (varying length of crop cycle, fallowing, cultivation and alternative crops), resistant sugarcane cultivars; and observation of proper farm hygiene to reduce/eradicate this pest are presented. Combinations of the aforementioned practices for integrated pest management, and different strategies for various soil types are described.
