Kuzmin, R., Anstett, M.-C., & Louâpre, P. 2020 White Peach Scale, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targ.) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), is affected by host plant variety in a blackcurrant orchard. Entomologia Generalis 40(4): 377–383

host

Notes: In France, P. pentagona has become one of the main threats towards blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum L.). The high scale density and the low parasitism rate found overall on both varieties brings into question the benefits of a pest management strategy based on the change of the varieties used in blackcurrant orchards.
