Carles, L. 1985 Comment lutter contre les cochenilles de la vigne? [How should one control grapevine mealybugs?] . Arboriculture Fruitière 2(373): 30-31.
Notes: Nine species of mealybug live on grapevines in France. Their activities can lead to sooty mould, and affected grapes are more susceptible to grey mould [Botrytis cinerea]. For the control of Parthenolecanium corni and Planococcus ficus, the most important species, Cu fungicides are recommended in association with insecticides such as medidathion (310 g/ha), methylparathion (160 g/ha), parathion (160 g/ha), dimethoate (240 g/ha) or phosalone (330 g/ha).
