This study evaluates the effect of biological control combined with phytosanitary treatments in an organic farm located in Jacarilla, in the Vega Baja region, Alicante. The predators Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and Exochomus quadripustulatus were released, along with the application of paraffin oil, to assess their impact on reducing the cottony citrus and mango scale Pulvinaria polygonata.
The pest can infest any aerial part of the tree, weakening it and secreting large amounts of honeydew, which promotes the growth of saprophytic fungi that form sooty mold. This results in significant staining of the tree and negatively affects fruit quality.
The results highlight the importance of C. montrouzieri in pest control, while E. quadripustulatus played a less significant role. Additionally, the presence and contribution of the parasitoid Microterys nietneri were identified. High summer temperatures, combined with oil treatments and natural enemies, achieved a significant reduction in the pest population, demonstrating the feasibility of this approach for integrated pest management in organic citrus crops.
