Planococcus ficus – biology, Vine Mealybug. |
|
Planococcus ficus (Signoret) is one of the most important pests attacking the grape vine, Vitis vinifera in Egypt, especially in the newly-reclaimed areas. The present paper deals with the effect of temperature and host plant on the bio-parameters of this pest. The hygrothermal conditions of 30 oC and 55-60% R.H. seem to be the most favorable conditions for either development or reproduction of the pest. On the other hand, using sprouting potato tubers in the pest’s rearing is most suitable than pumpkin fruits; showing higher value of net reproductive rate together with shorter population doubling time. |
