Conteúdo: | Certain ants are major indirect pests in citrus throughout the country. Although they do not damage healthy fruit, leaves, branches or stems, they promote serious pests such as red scale, soft brown scale, soft green scale and citrus mealybug. Ants also stimulate the increase of minor pests such as the Karoo thorn mealybug and the black citrus aphid. The way in which ants cause these pests to multiply is a chain reaction which starts with the presence of only a few honeydew-producing insects such as soft scales, mealybugs or aphids - but not red scale which does not produce honeydew.
