Fotidar, M.R., & Raina, J.L. 1936 San José scale in Kashmir and its control.. Review of Applied Entomology 24: 692-693.

Notes: [Abstract only.] A brief account is given of the bionomics and control of Aonidiella (Aspidiotus) perniciosa, Comst., in Kashmir, where it occurs on most kinds of deciduous plants, and is particularly common on Cydonia japonica, apple and peach. The overwintered nymphs become active in mid-March, and the males have emerged by mid-April. The females began to reproduce in mid-May and gave rise to 200-400 nymphs in a month. These crawlers settle after 1 day, and 2 days later start to secrete a waxy covering, which is completed in about 4 days. The life cycle, natural enemies and chemical control are reviewed.
