Notes: Abstract: Techniques of remote sensing are based on detection of damage caused by pest and not detection of insect itself; however, damage caused by Diaspididae is usually not detectable, so instead of damage, factors that influence population increase can be used such as, planting patterns that indicate potential pesticide drift, dusty areas near crops, varietal differences, distribution and density of susceptible hosts, presence of abandoned groves.
