Panis, A. 1986 Biological features of Pseudococcus affinis (Mask.) (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae) as guidelines of its control in water-sprinkled citrus orchards..

Notes: Pseudococcus affinis (Maskell) is a new pest of French Riviera citriculture, particularly damaging to clementines. Chemical control is only partially successful. As a result of a biological study, two behavioural features, i.e. sheltering and crawling, explain partial inefficacy of insecticides. Solutions are proposed.
