Blank, R.H., Olson, M.H., Clark, J.B., & Gill, G.S.C. 1993 Investigating two bee-safe materials for controlling latania scale on avocados during pollination.. Proceedings of the Forty Sixth New Zealand Plant Protection Conference. Christchurch, New Zealand: August 10-12, 1993; Rotorua, New Zealand : 80-85.

Notes: Abstract: Hemiberlesia lataniae was identified as an important pest on avocados with up to 34% of fruit infested; high proportion of immature scale (94%) on fruit in late November indicated that scale invasion coincided with pollination; fluvalinate and buprofezin evaluated for control; no clear results.
