Calatayud, P.A. 2000 Influence of linamarin and rutin on biological performances of Phenacoccus manihoti in artificial diets.. Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 96(1): 81-86.

Notes: The cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti (Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae), a serious pest of Manihot esculenta, is an oligophagous insect. Host plant resistance was investigated, focusing on the biochemical mechanisms involved in antibiosis, defined as the long term interaction affecting insect life history by reducing growth, reproduction or survival.
