Abstract:
Surveys of insects and other pests on yuh-heh-bau litchi were carried out from 2002 to 2007 in southern Taiwan. A total of 22 species of insects, one species of mite and one species of snail were found in southern Taiwan. Among them, the mango aphid (Greenidea mangiferae), litchi fruit borer (Conopomorpha sinensis), leaf borer (C. litchielle), cottony mealybug (Chloropulvinaria psidii), leaf roller (Ehola celligera) and oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) were considered of economic importance. This report described the symptom of their injuries and percentages of infestation. Paper bag used for wrapping fruit was more effective than nylon net to protect litchi from the infestation of litchi fruit borer and oriental fruit fly.
