AbstractThe San Jose scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock), was killed on harvested apples by fumigation with 32 g/m3 of methyl bromide for 2 hours followed by standard cold storage for about a month. Fumigation, without storage, did not kill all the scale.

AbstractRed Delicious and Winesap apples infested with San Jose scale were placed into either regular (CS) or controlled-atmosphere (CA) cold storage, either with or without prior fumigation with methyl bromide. Fumigation with a dose of 32 g/m3 killed all infesting stages of the scale on Red Delicious apples in CS after 31 days and in CA after 137 days. Complete scale mortality on Winesap apples occurred after 167 days in CA and in CS if previously fumigated.

AbstractComparisons of three isomers of the San Jose scale [Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock)] pheromone showed that SJS3 was slightly more attractive than SJS1 or SJS2. Pheromone-baited traps were compared with sticky barrier traps for the detection and monitoring of male emergence activity and each trap type produced a different activity pattern relative to both calendar days and accumulated degree-days (DD). San Jose scale phenology varied between geographic areas of the Okanagan Valley when compared by using DD accumulations above either 7.2 or 10.5°C and suggests a trend towards decreasing DD requirements as the insect’s distribution moves north.

AbstractThe San José scale, Aspidiotus perniciosus Comstock, died within 84 to 140 days on Winesap apples harvested in early October and placed in standard cold storage or controlled atmosphere storage under laboratory or commercial conditions. The scale died more quickly in controlled atmosphere storage than in standard cold storage. The black caps of the first instar stage were the most resistant to mortality factors in cold storage. It is suggested that Winesap apples infested with the San José scale can be given an inspection certificate for export that guarantees freedom from live scale if the fruit has been stored for specified periods.The San José scale on Italian prunes died within 34 days when the harvested fruit was kept in standard cold storage.A complete mortality of the European fruit scale, Aspidiotus ostreaeformis Curtis, on Hyslop crab, McIntosh, or Newtown apples, could not be obtained, in any type of storage.
