Fiedler, Z. 2003 [Trials of integrated pest control in the protection of ornamentals in Poznan Palm House.]. Ochrona Roslin 47(6): 12-13.
Notes: Principles of integrated pest control are briefly stated and the experience of the system, gained in the Poznan Palm House, is described. During regular inspections of the House, conducted in 2001, the following pests were found most frequently: Trialeurodes vaporariorum, Frankliniella occidentalis, Bradysia paupera, Coccus hesperidium [Coccus hesperidum], Tetranychus urticae, T. cinnabarinus, Rhodobrum porosum, Microlophium evansi [Microlophium carnosum]. Of those, Trialeurodes vaporariorum caused most damage and Macrolophus caliginosus and Verticillium lecanii were introduced as biological control agents. The two agents are described together with their effect on the pest, and pest counts before and after the introduction of the control are presented in tables.
