Abstract :
Invasive alien pest species can have economic impact on the ecosystem and target crops, and sometimes lead to change a cropping system (Pena 2013). Kurdistan is the most important province of strawberry production in Iran. Paros, Queen Elisa, Camarosa,Selva, Ventana, Aromas and local variety named Kurdistan are the main strawberry varieties that are cultivated for fruit or plantlet production. The plantlet production is a big business for local nurseries, and propagated plantlets are distributed over the country (Iran). New diseases and pests have been emerging since new cultivars have been introduced in strawberry fields of the region.
