Scale insect (Hemiptera: Sternorryncha: Coccomorpha) species on medicinal and aromatic plants in Adana (Turkey)

Abstract

Medicinal and aromatic plants are used primarily in the medicine, food and cosmetic industries. Scale insect species belonging to Coccomorpha (Hemiptera: Sternorryncha) feed on medicinal and aromatic plants, reducing the yield and commercial value of these crops. This study aimed to determine the scale insect species on these plants in Adana Province between 2015 and 2017. Scale insect samples were collected from leaves, trunks, brunches and fruits of 28 medicinal and aromatic plant species examined and identified in the laboratory. In the study, a total of 16 species were identified from the families of Coccidae (5 species), Diaspididae (7 species), Monophlebidae (1 species) and Pseudococcidae (3 species) belonging to this infraorder.
