Keywords:
Notes: Physiological damage caused by S. prunastri was assessed by measuring the phloem nutrients of different damage time (early overwintering stage of 2nd instar nymphs, feeding period of 2nd instar nymphs and maximum feeding period of female insects), damage degree (undamaged, mild, moderate and severe) and different branch ages new shoots, 2nd and 3rd instar branches) of wild apricot, and combining with the nutrient difference analysis of various vegetative organs (new shoots, branches, trunks and fine roots). https://doi.org/10.12403/j.1001-1498.20250266
