Abstract:
In southern Albania is provided most of the citrus production produced in our country. The
parasites that affect this type of vegetation are diverse and very different. For the very economic
importance of this product we have conducted the study in question. On this basis we have been
able to identify some of these parasites and precisely those of a very specific and quite harmful
group, often in microscopic forms. This article gives you a brief overview on parasites known as
"plant turtles", representatives of U/ O Coccoinea, Order Homoptera. These represent a very
specific group of phytoparasitic insects. Among the processes of our work that of determination
to species was the most difficult. This is not only due to the limited presence of determinative
literature but also due to the fact that a small number of studies have been conducted on this
specific group of insects. It should therefore be noted from the outset that our studies on this
group of different plant pests are the first and most complete for our country. The paper shows
the whole territory where we have spread our study, the collected material, the way of its
processing in the laboratory and the determination of the species. During the field work, bioecological data on these harmful species were also collected. By processing the collected data
related to this very specific group of pests, a number of conclusions have been reached with
values and interest for citrus growers in our region in particular and in Albania as a whole |
