Gravena, S., Paiva, P.E.B., & Yamamoto, H. 1993 Impact of methidathion on citrus entomofauna: I. Perspective of ecological selectivity.. Bulletin OILB/SROB 16(7): 16-25.

Notes: Abstract: Impact of chemicals on natural enemies of Unaspis citri, Parlatoria cinerea and Selenaspidus articulatus investigated; bromopropylate sprayed as full cover on the citrus foliage and methidathion applied on the trunk and primary branches were not harmful to the citrus beneficial insects and mites; methidathion in alternated rows reduced significantly the coccinellids Pentila egena and Coccidophylus citricola and the predatory mites Euseius citrifolius and Iphiseiodes zuluagai but did not affect Neuroptera (Chrysopids). Keywords: biological control.
