Abstract:
Biological control of four phloem-feeding homopterans on citrus and avocado is discussed. Examples of successful control are those achieved with Parabemisia myricae and Icerya purchasi; only partial control was obtained with Protopulvinaria pyriformis (nonspecific parasitoid complex) and with Planococcus citri (climatic conditions unfavourable for its natural enemies). © 1992 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.
