Cover Story: Synthetic and bio-based active substances were found to be suitable for controlling Parthenolecanium corni infestation in several highbush blueberry plantations. Their efficacy could be related to the initial level of infestation. Natural enemy species were found in all plantations and differed in terms of the population size and diversity, which, besides supporting the control of the scale, could impact the infestation level or product efficacy. Applying an IPM strategy that combines agronomical practices with the application of insecticides with different mechanisms of action, attentive to the benefit of natural enemies, is considered a suitable method of achieving the satisfactory control of P. corni in highbush blueberry plantations.
