In its nymphal stage it is characterized by having a protective shield or follicle that overlap to form thick layers, sometimes impermeable to phytosanitary treatments.

Chemical control should be done during the sprouting stages, at the emergence of first generation nymphs, or at the emergence of third generation nymphs.

FuturCrop is a software that calculates on a daily basis the conditions that modify the life cycle of pests. When a change occurs, it informs the user of the right time to perform the most efficient control treatment, thus reducing the number of treatments and their costs.
