citrus mealybug การใช้

One survey in Egypt noted 12 species of parasitoid wasps on the citrus mealybug.
Predators include the brown lacewing " Sympherobius barberi ", the green lacewing " Chrysopa lateralis ", hoverfly larvae, and the ladybird beetle, readily attacks the citrus mealybug.
The citrus mealybug looks very similar to the vine mealybug ( " Planococcus ficus " ), and the two species are mainly distinguished by the arrangement of pores and tubular ducts on the tiny body of the female.
During mating, the citrus mealybug is known to engage in " triple coitus "; a female may copulate with two males at the same time, and a third male may at least make attempts to join the process.
As well as the direct damage caused by this species, the hollows caused in affected fruit encourage infestation by other pests including the citrus mealybug, " Planococcus citri " and the two-spotted spider mite, " Tetranychus urticae ".
