Simbiken, N.A., Powell, K.S., & Cooper, P.D. 2025 Reproductive output and population growth of grapevine scale Parthenolecanium persicae Fab. and frosted scale Parthenolecanium pruinosum Cocq. (Hemiptera: Coccidae) on selected grapevine cultivars. Austral Entomology 64: e70001
Keywords:
Notes: This study is conducted with a view to assess the impact of grapevine cultivars on the population dynamics of grapevine and frosted scales, and this information can be used for pest management. The following topics were addressed: (1) Does reproductive output of grapevine and frosted scale insects differ between vine cultivars? In this context, is it possible that these vine cultivars influence the relationship between fecundity and body size of adult females of both species? (2) In the case of different soft scale species, does the population growth rate differ between the two study species, and what is their intrinsic rate of increase? https://doi.org/10.1111/aen.70001
