Abstract Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is a tropical, cosmopolitan, polyphagous armored scale which is considered one of the key pests of mango crops around the world, because it produces conspicuous pink blemishes on the mango fruits, which depreciate their commercial value and make them unacceptable for export markets. If no control measures are taken, the pest can cause up to 90% yield losses in mango groves and may pose a threat to sustainability mango production. At present, control of A. tubercularis is based on the application of a reduced number of insecticides, most of which show a limited efficacy and are disruptive to beneficial insects. Considering the current European regulations on the sustainable use of phytosanitary products, the application of other management alternatives, such as the use of cultural control measures or biological control agents, is a priority. However, despite its economic importance, there is limited information on control methods for A. tubercularis, and most of the literature has focused on the description of its biological cycle and natural enemies in different mango producing regions. This report is an updated review on its biology, ecology and sustainable control measures, aimed to help in the development of integrated management strategies of this pest in the main mango growing areas of Spain and other countries of the Mediterranean Basin.

白芒果鳞片的生物学、生态学和综合害虫管理，Aulacaspistubercularis Newstead，西班牙南部的一种新害虫——综述

摘要 Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) 是一种热带、世界性、多食性的装甲鳞片，被认为是世界各地芒果作物的主要害虫之一，因为它会在芒果果实上产生明显的粉红色斑点，降低其商业价值和使它们不能被出口市场接受。如果不采取控制措施，这种害虫可导致芒果林高达 90% 的产量损失，并可能对芒果的可持续性生产构成威胁。目前，控制结核杆菌的基础是减少数量的杀虫剂的应用，其中大部分杀虫剂显示出有限的功效并且对有益昆虫具有破坏性。考虑到目前关于植物检疫产品可持续使用的欧洲法规、其他管理替代方案的应用，例如使用文化控制措施或生物控制剂，是一个优先事项。然而，尽管具有重要的经济意义，但关于结核杆菌控制方法的信息有限，大多数文献都集中在不同芒果产区对其生物循环和天敌的描述。本报告是对其生物学、生态学和可持续控制措施的最新评论，旨在帮助在西班牙和地中海盆地其他国家的主要芒果种植区制定这种害虫的综合管理策略。并且大部分文献都集中于描述其在不同芒果产区的生物循环和天敌。本报告是对其生物学、生态学和可持续控制措施的最新评论，旨在帮助在西班牙和地中海盆地其他国家的主要芒果种植区制定这种害虫的综合管理策略。并且大部分文献都集中于描述其在不同芒果产区的生物循环和天敌。本报告是对其生物学、生态学和可持续控制措施的最新评论，旨在帮助在西班牙和地中海盆地其他国家的主要芒果种植区制定这种害虫的综合管理策略。
