Many species of microhymenopterous parasitoids have been registered on Phyllocnistis citrella, the citrus leafminer. The present study aimed to identify the spatial distribution pattern of the native and introduced parasitoids of P. citrella in two citrus orchards in Montenegro, RS. The new shoots from 24 randomly selected trees in each orchard were inspected at the bottom (0-1.5 m) and top (1....

Abstract The citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is an invasive pest of whose larvae damage developing leaves, which can impact tree photosynthetic capacity and may ultimately reduce growth yield. Damage most pronounced in young trees due to their greater propensity for production new foliage, supports P. oviposition larval development. We studied yield among different insecticid...
