LOURENCAO, André Luiz; MARTINS, Fernando Picarelli  e  ALARCON, Luiz Carlos Mollo. Occurrence of Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Hempel) (homoptera: margarodidae) on grape at Louveira, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Bragantia [online]. 1989, vol.48, n.2, pp.205-208. ISSN 1678-4499.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0006-87051989000200005.

A survey on vineyards at Louveira, State of São Paulo, Brazil, carried out in 1986 revealed a limited but pronounced manifestation of decay, including death of some plants. Analysis of the root system of symptomatic plants showed infestation of Eurhizococcus brasiliensis females. This insect is a serious grape pest in Southern Brazil. In the State of Sao Paulo, however, occurrence of E. brasiliensis on grape had so far been restricted to São Miguel Arcanjo and Guareí counties. The region in which Louveira is located has been the most important grape producing area of the State. Therefore, due to the harm this pest represents to the grape crop, the growers should be alerted to prevent further dissemination.
