Abstract
Cat-facing and dimpling of fruits have caused losses to peach growers. Cat-facing results from the attacks of insects when the fruits are small, and may be caused by Conotrachelus nenuphar and Lygus oblineatus. Most cat-facing was found to result from the feeding of Euschistus servus, E. tristigmus, and E. variolarius. Most dimpling resulted from midsummer attacks by Acro-sternum hilare.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
