ABSTRACT Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key phytosanitary pest of citrus in South Africa. The pest damages fruit by burrowing and feeding on the pulp, thus causing yield losses and export rejections. There are several T. leucotreta management strategies, such as orchard sanitation, mating disruption, attract‐and‐kill,

Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are subject to a variety of stressors that will eventually limit their development and yield. However, analysis of the combination of abiotic and biotic stresses is usually disregarded. The combination of stresses can have synergistic or antagonistic effects and, therefore, they require greater clarification for assertive ...
