Qin, H.Z., Tang, S.J., & Feng, J.R. 1997 Preliminary study on Aonidiella taxus Leonardi.. Journal of Shanghai Agricultural College 15: 109-113.

Notes: From studies in 1994-95, it was concluded that Aonidiella taxus has 3 or 4 generations every year in Shanghai, China. Fertilized female adults of the third generation and 2nd-instar nymphs of the fourth generation overwinter on leaves of Yew Podocarpus sp. or Taxus sp.). Nymphs of each generation are present from mid-May to late July, late July to the beginning of October, mid-September to late November, and mid-October to late November, respectively. It is suggested that control efforts should be concentrated on the first generation. The effectiveness of a pesticide, Dieteling (of unspecified composition), for control of the pest is discussed.
