- Abstract
The article presents a study on the use of biodegradable mesoporous pheromone dispensers in controlling California red scale, Aonidiella aurantii. Based on results, reductions of about 60 and 80% are obtained in the mating disruption plots of pheromone and residual pheromone emission value at 10% at the end of 250 days. In conclusion, mating disruption with correct sprayed oil treatment is an efficient technique to control A. aurantii.
