Mishra, Y.D., Kumar, S., Sushil, S.N., Bhattacharya, A., & Singh, B.P. 1999 Development of Kusmi lac insect, Kerria nagoliensis (Mahdihassan), on different hosts.. Insect and Environment 5(3): 130-131.

Notes: Observation of the postembryonic growth and development of the lac insect K. nagoliensis indicated that the time to reach sexual maturity varied with host species (Flemingia macrophylla, Zizyphus mauritiana, Acacia catechu or A. auriculaeformis [A. auriculiformis]). No difference was observed during the winter cycle. It is concluded that the growth and development of the lac insect was affected by the physiological state of the plants.
