LA: Russian
AB: The express method described from work in the USSR is based on similar principles to those of mathematical methods used in forestry for determining average population densities of arthropods taking into account the varying distribution of counting units (leaves, etc.) and arthropod species through the tree, but it uses fewer units (10 trees on a diagonal section) and restricts counts to the middle part of the tree. The average density on leaves, twigs, trunk and fruits for the whole tree is calculated from these counts by reference to (tabulated) coefficients obtained by observation for different pest and entomophage species. Total numbers on a tree can then be estimated by reference to trunk diameter. The method is exemplified by the citrus whitefly [Dialeurodes citri], Japanese wax scale [Ceroplastes japonicus] and Japanese scale [Lopholeucaspis japonica].

LA: Chinese
AB: The biology of the coccid Ceroplastes japonicus, a pest of trees in gardens and orchards in Shanghai, China, was studied. It had one generation a year. Fertilized females overwintered on the tips of branches. Oviposition occurred in May with 1196-2094 eggs being deposited per female (average of 1540.5/female). Nymphs hatched in June and adults emerged in Sepember-October. The encyrtid Anicetus beneficus and the aphelinids Coccophagus yoshidae and C. lycimnia were its main parasitoids, with a mean rate of parasitism of 8.3, 6.7 and 11.4%, resp. The coccinellid Chilocorus kuwanae preyed on the pest. It is suggested that for protection of these natural enemies no insecticides should be applied in May and June.

AB: The seasonal fluctuations in the occurrence of each stage, oviposition and hatching behaviour of Cerostegia japonicus [Ceroplastes japonicus] were investigated on persimmons in 1991, in Chonnam Province, Korea Republic. Oviposition occurred from late May to mid-July with a peak in late May. Larval hatching (when chemical control is effective) occurred from early June to early August with peaks in late June to early July. Adult females appeared from mid-October and overwintered after mating. Ovarian development in overwintering female began in the following May. Body size increased slightly with ovarian development. Oviposition began after 4 days at a constant temperature of 25 ± 1°C; up to 85% of eggs were laid during these first 4 days. The total number of eggs deposited was 924 ± 364.8/female but oviposition ability was greatly affected by temperature and varied with individual. Incubation time decreased as temperature increased up to 30°C, as did the rate of hatching. The development threshold was 8.1°C and the effective accumulated temperature was 316.5 day-degrees C in the egg stage.

Pathogenicity tests carried out by inoculating the coccids with spores of these 5 taxa showed that G. fujikuroi var. intermedium and F. pallidoroseum were highly pathogenic to C. rubens, and G. fujikuroi var. subglutinans and F. oxysporum were highly pathogenic to C. japonicus, although all 5 taxa could infect both species of coccid. The germtube of the germinated spores penetrated eggs and nymphs through eggshell, legs, integument, head and frons.

LS: English
AB: The survival rate of Ceroplastes japonicus on Euonymus japonicus was compared in 2 groups of test plants in Japan: one group was isolated from natural enemies by cages covered with 1-mm mesh net, and another group without cages was used as the control. Many more females of C. japonicus survived on test plants with cages than on controls. Active predation by larvae of Mallada boninensis was observed from July to August on test plants without cages, but no other predators were observed. Although larvae of M. boninensis are not known to be predators of C. japonicus, it is suggested that predation by this species is a major mortality factor of C. japonicum in summer. In September and October, a large number of adult females of C. japonicus moved from leaves to stems, which resulted in a decrease in the population. The main mortality factor in autumn may be failure to resettle the new infestation site.

LS: English
AB: Populations of Microterys clauseni were imported into the USSR from Japan in 1982 and 1984. Releases were made at various points on the Black Sea coast of Transcaucasia in 1982-87. Investigations showed that the parasitoid became successfully acclimatised, spreading up to 10-20 km from the release points and successfully controlling Ceroplastes japonicus on trees with low essential-oil content such as pear, persimmon, mulberry and plane [Platanus]. Gradual adaptation to the pest on Citrus, laurel [Laurus] and cherry-laurel [Prunus laurocerasus] was also observed. The results are given of studies on flight dynamics, behaviour when attacking the host and duration of development under controlled conditions. There were 2 generations a year.

AB: Field experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of the insect growth regulators, fenoxycarb (Insegar), buprofezin (Applaud), NKI-43049 (ethyl N-[(n-dodecycloxycarbonyl-butylamino)sulfenyl]-2-(4-phenoxy)ethyl carbamate) and NKI-35120 (ethyl N,N'-sulfinyl-bis [2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)-ethyl carbamate]) to control Carulaspis juniperi and Aphytis mytilaspidis on Juniperus communis on Margit Island, Budapest, Hungary, in 1989; Lepidosaphes beckii and A. lepidosaphes on oranges in Mansoura, Egypt, in 1990 and Ceroplastes japonicus on Ilex aquifolia in Padova, Italy, in 1990. Results indicated that all compounds caused only moderate mortality of C. juniperi and A. mytilaspidis, but that fenoxycarb and NKI-43049 totally inhibited the egg production, whilst approximately 1% of females treated with buprofezin or NKI-35120 laid eggs. The fenoxycarb derivatives NKI-43049 and NKI-35120 did not reduce the rate of parasitization by A. mytilaspidis. NKI-35120 (0.1% a.i.) was the most efficacious of the compounds against L. beckii. NKI-35120 (0.1% a.i.) and fenoxycarb (0.1% a.i.) reduced the egg production of L. beckii. The treatments did not significantly reduce the rate of parasitization by A. lepidosaphes. C. japonicus was most affected by NKI-35120 (0.01% a.i) and none of the treated larvae developed into females. Buprofezin had only moderate effects on C. japonicus.

AB: Damage caused by the coccid Ceroplastes japonicus to jujube trees [Ziziphus sativa] was first observed in Yiwe, Zhejiang, China, in 1987 and has since become a major local pest. In control trials, insecticides including 40% omethoate, 50% monocrotophos, 50% methamidophos and 40% methidathion were applied by spreading on twigs and branches after scraping the cuticle, by injection and by trenches dug into the rhizosphere. Twig and branch application of omethoate gave the best control of adults, resulting in 96 and 93% mortality, resp. Spreading omethoate onto branches at 3.5, 2.5 and 1.5 ml/tree in the mid-June nymphal hatching peak and 2.4 ml/tree on 20 April and 10, 20 and 30 May resulted in 92, 72, 53 and 47% control, resp. After branch application of omethoate, no significant effects on the survival of natural enemies such as chalcids and lady beetles [coccinellids], or on honey bees, were observed.

AB: During research to identify natural enemies of Ceroplastes japonicus, recently introduced, accidentally, into Central-Northern Italy, the coccinellid Rhyzobius forestieri was sighted within the urban area of Pisa. In July 1997 larvae and adults of this coccinellid (of Australian origin) were observed on laurel [?Laurus sp.] hedges feeding on C. japonicus. In 1981, Pope indicated that R. ventralis, widely used in biological control, actually consisted of two distinct species, R. ventralis and R. forestieri. R. ventralis was introduced into Italy (Campania and Sicily) over 80 years ago by Silvestri (1908) and Martelli (1913), but no other sightings have been reported since that time. The sighting of R. forestieri in Tuscany is of considerable importance, not only because this is a spontaneous presence rather than the result of its introduction, but also because this coccinellid was found as part of an abundant population preying on a coccid of exotic origin.

AB: Notes are given on the geographic distribution, biology, food plants and natural enemies of C. japonica in its native area (China, Korea and Japan) and in Italy. The biology and phenology of C. japonica was studied on different host plants at a road junction in Padova, Italy, in 1990-91. The coccid was found on the following tree species: Acer saccharinum, A. pseudoplatanus, Liquidambar styraciflua, Salix babylonica, Ilex aquifolium, Hedera helix var. Gloire de Marengo and Ulmus minor. The results showed that the host plant has little influence on the phenology of C. japonica but can affect the fecundity of the females and the migration from the leaves to twigs. The pest had one generation a year, overwintering in the adult female stage. Preliminary trials on the biological control of C. japonica using the coccinellid Chilocorus kuwanae were conducted in 1994. In cages, the coccinellid successfully controlled the coccid on Euonymus japonicus, which is only lightly infested by the pest in Italy. However, on laurel (Laurus nobilis), which is among the most frequently and heavily infested tree species, control was unsuccessful because the host plant was repellent to the predator.
