Kaspi, R., Madar, R., & Domeradzki, S. 2019 Acaricides compatibility with the armored scale predator Rhyzobius lophanthae. Biological Control 132: 42-48
Keywords:
Notes: Laboratory bioassays were performed to test the impact of acaricides, commonly used in citrus in general, and sulfur pesticides in particular, on acute mortality of R. lophanthae adults and larvae. Toxicity was tested in two situations: (i) direct spray applications and (ii) feeding and contact with dry residues on prey items (oleander scales, Aspidiotus nerii).
