Contribution of predation and parasitism to mortality of citrus leafminer Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) populations in Florida

2007-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The citrus leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is native to southern Asia and regarded as an important pest in nurseries and young or top-worked citrus trees in Florida. Damage to the leaf cuticle increases susceptibility to citrus canker disease and further aids spread by increasing inoculum loads. Biological control agents are known to play an important role in regulating pest populations. We evalu...
