Wood, B.J. 1964 Trials with dimethoate against the California red scale, Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.) and other Citrus pests in Cyrus.. Bulletin of Entomological Research 55: 339-353.

Notes: Trials were carried out from 1958 to 1961 at Fassouri Plantation in Cyprus to assess the value of dimethoate (O.O-dimethyl S-methylcarbamoylmethyl phosphorodithioate) against California red scale. Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.) on orange, lemon and grapefruit trees. This pest has hitherto been controlled in Citrus plantations by annual programmes of sprays containing parathion, malathion or white mineral oil, singly or in combination. Other species mentioned include Coccus hesperidum.
