Abstract
A brief description of morphology and biology of Aspidiotus hartii, an important pest of turmeric in the field and under storage is given. Due to the infestation by the scale, plants look pale and ultimately dry up. Two hymenopteran parasites Physcus sp. and Adelencyrtus moderatus were found to attack A. hartii.
