Winter hosts of Aphalara itadori (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), a classical biological control agent of Fallopia japonica (Polygonaceae), in the UK
Biocontrol Science and Technology 24 (10), 1197-1201
Abstract: This study suggests that lack of suitable overwintering sites will not be a limiting factor to the establishment of Aphalara itadori, a classical biological control agent of Fallopia japonica, since it was able to overwinter on a common conifer species as well as non-conifers hosts.
