Treatment

This species is commonly found on ornamental plants of the genera Anchusa L. ( Boraginaceae Juss. ), Begonia L. ( Begoniaceae C. Agardh ), Caltha L. and Trollius L. ( Ranunculaceae Juss. ), Cephalaria Schrad. ex Roem. & Schult. ( Dipsacaceae Juss. ), Convallaria L. ( Asparagaceae ), Dipsacus L. ( Dipsacaceae ), Geum L. ( Rosaceae ), Narcissus L. ( Amaryllidaceae J.St. -Hil.) and Viola L. ( Violaceae Batsch ) ( Escuer & Bello 2000, Ortuño & Oros 2002), Anemone L. ( Ranunculaceae ) ( McCuiston et al. 2007), Iris L. ( Iridaceae Juss. ) and Hepatica Mill. (Ranunculaceae) (UCDavis Nemabase 2010) but it is particularly important in Scabiosa caucasica M. Bieb. ( Caprifoliaceae Juss. ) on which it destroys the inflorescence and causes laminae distortion ( Singh et al. 2013). Haukeland & Brekke (2000) also showed the damaging potential of this species on strawberry ( Fragaria x anannasa Duchesne, Rosaceae ) in Norway.
