Zandigiacomo, P. 2002 [Entomological diagnosis and advice in the service of agriculture: 6th year.] Diagnosi e consulenze entomologiche al servizio dell'agricoltura: 6° anno.. Notiziario ERSA 15(1-2): 21-22.

Notes: Between August 2000 and July 2001 in Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Italy, the science department at Udine university made 48 diagnoses of symptoms on plants, identifying insects and thrips, as well as some of their natural enemies. Of particular interest to farmers were Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis, Chrysolina americana, Pyrrhalta viburnana, Dasineura gleditchiae, Plioreocoptes poeciloptera and Cydia molesta [Grapholita molesta]. Three on-the-spot investigations were conducted into a Planococcus ficus infestation in vines, extensive defoliation of oaks [Quercus] and defoliation of several broad-leaved weed species.
