Hattingh, V. 1996 The use of insect growth regulators in integrated pest management of citrus in southern Africa.. Citrus Journal 6: 14-17.

Notes: Widespread use of certain insect growth regulators, particularly pyriproxyfen, has resulted in outbreaks of previously unimportant pests, and then, the initiation of an insecticide treadmill; availability of pyriproxyfen as an effective control mechanism for organophosphorus-resistant Aonidiella aurantii has also been indirectly detrimental to integrated pest management.
