This Zespri-ALT resistance management case study is about armoured scale insects, key pests of kiwifruit, that cause cosmetic damage and make fruit ineligible for export.
In this resource the two types of scale insects are introduced, along with the resistance problem, and the kiwifruit industry’s integrated pest management programme (KiwiGreen).
Information on the key components of KiwiGreen; monitoring and thresholds and biological control along with key timings to target scale insects are also included.
