DeBach, P., Landi, J., & Jeppson, L.R. 1959 Integrated control measures: The integration of chemical control of mites with biological control of the California red scale.. California Agriculture 13(7): 12,15.

Notes: This experiment reaffirmed that efficient ant control is essential in maintaining a satisfactory degree of biological control of Aonidiella aurantii and that biological control can be greatly enhanced if selective insecticides only are used, to avoid upsetting the parasite-host relationship.
