Abstract
Parlatoria oleae was best controlled on olives by a spray of parathion and petroleum oil applied in early June, the next most effective time being late July. Parathion plus dormant spray oil controlled olive scale in winter sprays on deciduous fruit trees. Better control was obtained from spring sprays of parathion but they constitute a greater hazard to health.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
