  • Notes: Research has been conducted into integrated pest control for the peach tree in parts of Northern Italy since the early '70's. Research into integrated pest control of the peach tree has been conducted on the oriental fruitmoth, Cydia [Grapholita] molesta, on the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, on scales, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona and Quadraspidiotus [Diaspidiotus] perniciosus, on thrips, in particular Frankliniella occidentalis, and on the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. The effect of insecticides on the natural beneficials of key pests were taken into account in the choice of insecticides.
