Extract

The presence of female-produced sex pheromones in diaspidid scales has been known for several years, and was recently documented for the San Jose scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock) (Rice 1974). This paper reports the results of 3 years of seasonal monitoring for male San Jose scale in an attempt to determine how and when this pheromone might be used as a monitoring technique in pest management programs in deciduous fruit orchards. These studies were conducted at the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Research Center near Parlier, Fresno County, Calif.
