Regis, S. 2002 [Integrated pest management of olive trees.] Pour la santé de l'olivier: la lutte integree, une méthode plus ecologique.. Phytoma No. 547: 32-36.

Notes: With environmental concerns high on their list of priorities, olive growers are adopting the technique of integrated pest management (for pests such as Bactrocera oleae, Prays oleae and Saissetia oleae) in ever-increasing numbers. This article provides a review of the use of this strategy in France and deals with cultivation methods, ranging from planting to general orchard maintenance. High quality observation is essential to establish objective plant protection in a given situation. For each pest, procedures for sampling and monitoring are presented. To help the olive grower to analyse the observations and to choose the right treatment, thresholds of tolerance are proposed for French orchards. Climatic conditions affecting pests are summarized. Finally, pest control methods which are available and suitable for olive growers who wish to apply integrated pest management, are classified in order of priority.
