Environment and hostplant genotype effects on the seasonal dynamics of a predatory mite on cassava in subhumid tropical Africa
The African root and tuber scale Stictococcus vayssierei Richard is the only known hypogeal species of the family Stictococcidae. Its wide range of host plants together with concurrently field observed differences in host preference provided evidence of polyphagy or the involvement of more than a...
