Notes: [Additional authors are Papa, G. and Scalera, M.] Investigations were conducted in Italy during 1999-2000 to test the effect of buprofezin and white mineral oil on control of S. oleae during the period of maximum ova hatching. Recommendations are provided for the best time and technique of control agent application. The effect is considered of environmental factors, particularly, that of temperature on pest control.
