Notes: [Original title: Dogu akdeniz bolgesi'nde turuncgillerde zararli Kirmizi kabuklubit, Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) (Hom.: Diaspididae) mucadelesinin yonlendirilmesinde eseysel tuzaklardan yararlanma olanaklari.] In this study, the possibility of using pheromone traps against California red scale (CRS), Aonidiella aurantii, the main pest of citrus fruits, was examined. In 1995 and 1996, the male flight periods and four peak points were determined. There was a significant correlation between numbers of trapped males and leaf/fruit CRS populations. Mass trapping was not found to be a promising method for CRS control based on effectiveness and costs.
