ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF CITRUS PLANTS
Abstract
The article discusses various directions of activity in the agricultural field, including the fact that fruit growing is the most important occupation of the population in the development of agriculture. Fruit growing is considered one of the ancient fields. Many types of Diaspididae harm citrus and fruit plants, ornamental plants, and more. Thus, it causes their leaves to dry out, fruit to fall out, and even the plant to perish. Cushions with California beetle (Diaspidiotus perniciosus Comst.), comma-shaped beetle (Lepidosaphes ulmi L.), Lemon beetle (Pscudococcuscitri Risso.), etc. are more dangerous pests for plants. Diaspididaes do more damage in warm subtropical and tropical countries. While the vast majority of diaspididaes are pests, a small number are good. Dactylopius cacti common in Mexico, Kermes vermilion on the Mediterranean coast, Margarodes polonicus in Poland, Porphyrophora hameli in Transcaucasia, etc. are of great importance to industry.
