Hosts

Important note about the classification of host plants in GD:
Categories have been assigned by the EPPO Secretariat on the basis of available data at the time of entry. They correspond to a qualitative evaluation of the importance of the host plant for the pest concerned and remain indicative only.
Further explanation of categories is available in the guide.

This record needs to be confirmed: the journal is not a recognized one in plant health, it is not known if it if peer-reviewed, the quality of English makes it difficult to understand the text. There are no data how the identity of the pest was assessed, and no pictures of damage.
