“…The obtained results in agreement with Abdel-Aleem (1984); Salama et al (1985) and Samah (2000), they founded three annual generations a year for P. ziziphi whereas Amin & Salem (1978); El-Bolok et al (1984) and Sweilem et al (1984) reported two annual generations per year for P. ziziphi on sour orange.…”

The population dynamics of black parlatoria scale, Parlatoria ziziphi (Lucas) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) were studied on sour orange (citrus aurantum) for two successive years (2005-2006) at Qalubyia Governorate. The obtained results revealed that P. ziziphi had three generation a year. The highest generation occurred in summer followed by moderate generation in autumn and relatively smaller generation in winter. The summer generation peaked in early June and started from mid March or early April until mid July with duration of 3.5-4.5 months; the autumn generation peaked in early October and extended from mid July or early August to late December with duration of 5-5.5 months whereas the winter generation peaked in mid January and started from early January to early April and lasted for 3 months. The main weather factors (daily mean max. and min. temperatures and % R.H.) affected greatly on the annual generations of P. ziziphi in both studied years. The summer generation affected with 51-52% , while autumn and winter generations affected with 47-63.4% and 93.5-94.8% respectively.

“…The scale had 2 generations a year. Salama et al, (1985) reported that P. ziziphi on grape fruit in Egypt had two annual peaks of abundance in Sept. and May and there were 3 generations a year in Sept.-Oct., Mar.-Apr. and Jun.-Jul.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
