[Biology and biological control of Planococcus citri R. (Hom., Pseudococcidae) on citrus in the Loukos region of Morocco]..

Notes: In the Loukos area in the north of Morocco, Planococcus citri is a major pest of citrus orchards. A two-year study was undertaken on Maroc Late citrus cultivar to study the bioecology of P. citri. It was found that P. citri has 6 to 8 overlapping generations annually. High population levels occurred during June-December. The predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and the parasitoid Leptomastix dactylopii were released for control of the pest.
