Problems of evaluating chemical control of San Jose scale are discussed on the basis of experiments in deciduous fruit orchards. Methods are described for sampling and counting scales for mor tality determinations and for measuring the resurgence of a popu lation after it has been reduced. The methods used did not show conclusively any differences in performance among a number of the more effective insecticides used with oil in dormant or spring sprays. The methods were ade quate to show that scale populations on peach trees do not increase as much in the growing season when trees are sprayed in May as when they are sprayed during fall or winter. On lightly infested peach trees sprayed in the dormant season or in May, the survivor progenies increased faster during the growing season than they did on trees that were more heavily infested when sprayed. The effects of variation in initial pest density on control were mini mized by using pretreatment counts with the annual twig-count method. This method measured degree of population resurgence after treatment but did not show how numbers of survivors, effects of natural enemies, and other environmental factors acted together to produce the results observed. Sequences of samples for mortality determinations indicated trends in population change after treat ment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
