Notes: The efficacy of four insecticide treatments-buprofezin, chlorpyrifos, 1 and 2% mineral oil, applied at four single, and a double application time, was evaluated against soft wax scale, Ceroplastes destructor Newstead, on 'Seminole' tangelo (Citrus paradisi (Macfadyen) times C. reticulata (Blanco)) in Kerikeri, New Zealand.
