Gutierrez-Coarite, R., Cho, A., Mollinedo, J., & Pulakkatu-Thodi, I 2021 Macadamia felted coccid impact on macadamia nut yield in the absence of a specialized natural enemy, and economic injury levels. Crop Protection 139 (2021): 105378

  • Notes: There was significant variation in yield loss to A. ironsidei in the two varieties and locations. Some varieties of macadamia nut had severe yield losses under dry-habitat conditions, while others tolerated higher A. ironsidei infestations better, with a lower rate of yield loss. The implications of high yield loss in a crop in the absence of a natural enemy of the primary pest are discussed.
