Abstract
F. virgata, which has a very wide host range, was found to be heavily infesting azaleas. Under laboratory conditions females reached the adult stage in 28.8 days, while males required 38 days to reach adult stage. In Maryland the nymph overwinters and begins to feed in April. Two generations are produced, 1 in June and 1 in Aug. Two hymenopterous parasites were found. A list of other recorded parasites is given. Malathion emulsion sprays gave good control.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
