Urban, A.J., & Mynhardt, M.E. 2000 The integrated control of the vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus (Signoret), on vines.. Plant Protection Research Institute: Progress Report. 30 pp.

Notes: [Project number: PB 2 16 1/23/2/1] None of the three isolates of Cladosporium from P. ficus or its honeydew were pathogenic to the mealybug. Anagyrus pseudococci was recovered in small numbers from most sites where it had been released one or two years earlier. Production data from farmers indicated that Integrated Pest Management (IPM) did not reduce crop quantity compared with chemical control.
