Abstract

The article presents the results of studies on the distribution of two types of false shields (Ceroplastes destructor Newstead, 1917; Ceroplastes japonicus Green, 1921) in the Lenkoran-Astara region of Azerbaijan conducted during 2017-2019. The timing of the development of individual stages of the pest, the number of generations, trophic connections and the degree of infection of plants by them are established. Wintering stages have been established. It was noted that C. destructor affects 6 species, and C. japonicus affects 8 species of citrus and subtropical plants belonging to 5 families. It has been established that C. destructor in the south of Azerbaijan can develop in the open ground in 1 generation, and in closed ground in I, II or II ? generations. In 2019, the highest degree of infection with both types of pests was observed.
