Field Key to Identification of Scale Insects on Holly (Ilex spp.)

Abstract

Over 500 different varieties of hollies (Ilex spp) are grown in the US as hedges, garden borders, and specimen plants. A well managed planting is generally free of pests and diseases but when growing conditions are poor, pest and disease can become a problem (Ingram and Barrick 2003). This document is IPM-141 (IN649), one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, UF/IFAS Extension. First published: January 2006.
