Abstract
The key arthropod pests in the citrus producing areas in Greece comprise the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata, the California red scale Aonidiella aurantii and the citrus mealybug Planococcus citri. Outbreaks of the whiteflies Aleurothrixus floccosus and Dialeurodes citri, the scales Ceroplastes rusci and Saissetia oleae as well as the Tetranychidae mites Panonychus citri and Tetranychus urticae and the Eriophyiidae mites Aculops pelekassi and Aceria sheldoni may occur locally. The citrus leafminer Phyllocnistis citrella, aphids (Aphis spiraecola, A. gossypii, Toxoptera aurantii) and thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis, Pezothrips kellyanus) are of minor importance. The problems due to major and minor citrus pests and control measures in Greece are reviewed and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies are recommended.
