Fig wax scale

Post by **Mark** » 27 Feb 2012, 09:26

Occasionally I get requests for a suggestion for a particular agricultural issue. I usually point people to the materia medica and repertory.

However, since the requests keep coming in I thought it best to transfer them to the forum so everyone can have a go.

Below was the latest question. If you can help do 'reply', and if you try any of the remedies please let us know - both here and on the materia medica - how you get on. Thanks

"I have Fig Wax Scale on my fig tree (Ceroplastes Rusci). Has any one a remedy for this?
