    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Rastrococcus invadens (Willams, 1986) (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae) or mealybug is an insect pest of mango and several other fruit trees including citrus. The mealybug is native to Southeast Asia and was first identified in Senegal in Dakar in 1995 (Han et al., 2007). Since then, it has been widely distributed throughout the country, especially in the two most fruit-producing areas: Casamance and Thi?s. To better understand the population dynamics of Rastrococcus invadens, surveys and investigations were conducted in the regions of Thi?s and natural Casamance. This work conducted between September 2015 and August 2017, consists in making an inventory of all edible host plants of the insect in order to assess the degree of infestation, damage and cost of losses. A total of 17 species of edible host plants were inventoried and classified into two groups according to the degree of infestation. However, of the four mango varieties studied (kent, keitt, séwé and bouko diékhal), damage was more pronounced on (séwé and keitt) but the cost of losses was higher on kent.
