Abstract
Three species of armored scale insects including oleander scale (Aspidiotus nerii), are the key pests of kiwifruit grown in New Zealand.
Temperature-driven phenology models are being developed to improve the timing of insecticide applications against these pests.
The rate of development and progeny production of oleander scale was studied at 5 constant temperatures.
These data were used in a model which simulates diurnal temperature patterns and then calculates accumulated daily day degrees to drive a distributed development model of oleander scale phenology.
The model was able to achieve a good fit compared with actual phenology data obtained from an unsprayed kiwifruit orchard over a single season.
Although initial results are promising, further validation of the model is required for other kiwifruit growing districts before it can be used to time control measures.
