 abstract={<p>
 The increased cultivation of highbush blueberry in Poland has been 
 paralleled with enhanced
 </p>
 <p>
 damage to this crop by different pests and diseases, including soft 
 scales. We have
 </p>
 <p>
 carried out trials to assess methods for controlling soft scales of the 
 genus Parthenolecanium
 </p>
 <p>
 in highbush blueberry grown in open fields or under a plastic tunnel, 
 with an approach
 </p>
 <p>
 based on integrated pest management (IPM) principles. The reduction of 
 Lecanium
 </p>
 <p>
 scale population using alternative products, with mechanical mechanisms 
 of action, was
 </p>
 <p>
 similar to that achieved with treatments of different formulations of 
 neonicotinyl-based
 </p>
 <p>
 pesticides; sometimes they were even more effective on protected crops. 
 Control programs
 </p>
 <p>
 on plantations with a large population of Lecanium scales based on the 
 application of these
 </p>
 <p>
 alternative products in spring and at harvest time and chemical 
 compounds in autumn resulted
 </p>
 <p>
 in a very high efficacy and are considered the most suitable strategies 
 to assure yields
 </p>
 <p>
 without residues and a reduced impact on the environment.
