Grafton-Cardwell, E.E., Leonard, J.T., Daugherty, M.P., & Headrick, D.H. 2021 Mating Disruption of the California Red Scale, Aonidiella aurantii (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Central California Citrus. Journal of Economic Entomology 114(6): 2421–2429

Keywords:

  • control
  • Notes: The results of the study indicated mating disruption using CheckMate CRS can be an effective method to reduce California red scale populations throughout the 4+ generations that occur in central California. Mating disruption has the potential to reduce or eliminate pesticide applications, especially in low scale density situations.
