Count of main pest of Oil-Bearing (Rosa damascena Miller)’s Rose Soft Scale (Rhodococcus perornatus Cockerell & Parrott) by using image processing methods
Abstract:he rose soft scale (Rhodococcus perornatus Cockerell & Parrott) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) is the main pest of oil-bearing rose in Isparta (Turkey). It spends all periods of the life on oil-bearing rose (Rosa damascena Miller) and damage rose plants by sucking the sap. Population density, which is the first step of the struggle with pests, is estimated by regular sampling and counting. However, in case of insects that can reach an overly dense population level, as in Coccidae, census errors are frequently caused by… Show more
