Bílgín, M.G., Çalişkan Keçe, A.F., & Rifat Ulusoy, M. 2021 The determination some biological parameters of Phenacoccus madeirensis Green (Hemiptera : Pseudococcidae) on vegetable plants. Turkish Journal of Zoology 45: 296-303

Keywords:

  • ecology
  • life cycle
  • Notes: According to results of this study, P. madeirensis completed its life cycle on eggplant, tomato, pepper and pepino. However, eggplant has been determined as the most suitable host plant for P. madeirensis during this study and the highest values of life table parameters were obtained from eggplant (R0 = 99.14 nymphs/ female, r = 0.147 d – 1 , λ = 1.159 d – 1, GRR = 289.49 nymphs/female). Consequently, this invasive pest could potentially cause economic losses in vegetable crops.
