Boric acid for suppression of the ant Anoplolepis tenella and effects on an associated scale insect pest Stictococcus vayssierei in cassava fields in the Congo Basin
The scale insect, Stictococcus vayssierei, is one of the major pests and constraints to cassava production in the Congo Basin. It is frequently found associated with the ground nesting ant, Anoplolepis tenella, under cassava plant. Amdro fire ant bait granules (contains 7.3 g/kg Hydramethylnon), bor...
