Gujjar, N., Verghese, A., Suresh, D.T., Mouly, R., & Joshi, S. 2018 Advanced prediction to facilitate biocontrol of the mealybug Rastrococcus iceryoides (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in organic mango (Anacardiaceae) orchards. Canadian Entomologist 150: 116–119

biological control

Notes: Predicting mango mealybug, Rastrococcus iceryoides (Green) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), populations in an organic mango (Mangiferaindica Linnaeus; Anacardiaceae) ecosystem well in advance with reasonable accuracy, will facilitate biological control. This prediction model, when considered three to four weeks in advance of an infestation, could help farmers.
