An investigation into the insect ecology of citrus orchards, with special reference to citrus mussel scale (Lepidosaphes beckii newm.)

In the course cf the last fifteen years the general lnsect ecology of citrus orchards in the Eastern Cape has provided the subject matter of four theses presented for the degree of M.Sc. of Rhodes University. The false codlin moth, Argyroploce leucotreta Meyr., formed the subject of a thesis by Horn...
