The cottony Cushion Scale, Icerya purchasi Mask., is a polyphagous, cosmopolitan and destructive pest that infests more than 200 plant species apart from citrus. Laboratory studies were carried out on the orange at three temperatures, 17±1, 27±1 and 40±1°C 65±5% RH and 14:10 (L:D). The duration of nymphal stages, female longevity and the life cycle at 17±1°C were 85.8±3.83, 74.9±3.53 and 173.6±...
