Scale (Botany)Scale is a type of pest insect that attaches to plants and sucks plant fluids for nutrition. It coats itself with a covering (hence scale) that makes it quite resistant to pesticides, which are only effective against them when they are in the juvenile crawler stage. Scale, however can be controlled with horticultural oil, which suffocates them, or through biological controls. External link
