Nestel, D., Pinhassi, N., Reuveny, H., Oppenheim, D., & Rosen, D. 1995 Development of a predictive phenological model for the spring generation fo the olive scale, Parlatoria oleae (Colvée), in Israel: preliminary results.. Israel Journal of Entomology 29: 227-235.

Notes: Investigation of the onset and rate of oviposition and egg-hatching in the spring generation of this olive scale; the model developed was shown to accurately predict the timing of the phenological events, with a maximum deviation of 5 days from the predicted dates; it is suggested that this model can be successfully applied to optimize pesticidal treatments against olive scale crawlers.
