Fortuitous biological control of the invasive mealybug Phenacoccus peruvianus in Southern Europe
Phenacoccus peruvianus Granara de Willink (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is a Neotropical invasive mealybug that has rapidly spread throughout Mediterranean Basin. It has established itself as the principal pest of several ornamental plants, causing considerable problems in nurseries and urban landscap...
