title: [Occurrence and control of pests about Cistanche deserticola and its hosts].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the kinds and occurrence of pests of Cistanche deserticola and its hosts so as to find ways of pest control.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pests of C. deserticola and its hosts were investigated in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia where C. deserticola grows, the occurrence of Anomala titanis Reitter was investigated in the field, and phoxim was used for field control.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There are 17 kinds of pests which harm C. deserticola and its hosts. Phoxim 40% EC 1000 times, 2000 times and Phoxim 3% GR [8 kg x (667 m2)(-1)] had 100% controlling effect, and 3% GR [4 kg x (667 m)(-2-1)] had 88.23% controlling effect.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Many kinds of pests can harm the C. deserticola and its hosts. Phoxim is good for killing A. titanis Reitter.
