planococcus การใช้

• 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.
• 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 ".
• "Planococcus njalensis " population density is closely correlated with density of ants in the " Crematogaster " genus, which build protective carton tents over the mealy bug colonies . " Crematogaster " populations however are negatively correlated with populations of ants of the " Oecophylla " genus.
