Notes: In peach cultivation in Yamanashi Prefecture, fruit growers used insecticides to control Pseudaulacaspis prunicola, but serious damage occurred. P. prunicola has a closely related species, P. pentagona, and the dominant species observed was P. prunicola. This study suggests that low sensitivity to buprofezin is one of the causes of the frequent outbreaks.
