Hefetz, A., Kronenberg, S., Peleg, B.A., & Bar-Zacay, I. 1988 Mating disruption of the California Red Scale Aonidiella aurantii (Homoptera: Diaspididae).. Citriculture: Proceedings of the Sixth International Citrus Congress: Middle-East. Tel Aviv: March 6-11, 1988. Balaban Rehovot, Israel

Notes: Series title: Pests and their Management; Integrated Control in Citrus Growth; Postharvest Physiology and Pathology, Vol. 3. Abstract: Mating disruption as means of control was assessed using the synthetic sex pheromone; tests for efficacy of mating disruption included attraction of males to traps baited with low doses of pheromone, attraction to traps baited with virgin females and the mating success of virgin females in the field; communicative disruption occurred during all assays; applying the pheromone from several dispensers was in most cases superior to a single dispenser. Keywords: pheromones.
