Kaolin particle films suppress many apple pests, disrupt natural enemies and promote woolly apple aphid (2008, methodology): “Both formulations are similar in mode of action and efficacy against insect pests while hydrophilic kaolin provides better control of some diseases (Puterka et al. 2000; Glenn et al. 2001; Lalancette et al. 2005).”
A kaolin‐based particle film for suppression of the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae Gmelin (Dip., Tephritidae) in olive groves (2004, background): “The product is considered a potential replacement of insecticides used to control apple, pear, grape, pecan and some vegetable arthropod pests (Glenn et al., 1999; Knight et al., 2000; Lapointe, 2000; Puterka et al., 2000; Unruh et al., 2000; Cottrell et al., 2002; Liang and Liu, 2002; Showler, 2002”
Effects of processed kaolin on pests and non-target arthropods in a Spanish olive grove (2010, background): “Processed kaolin has been reported to effectively control different species of psyllids (Puterka et al. 2000, 2005; Glenn and Puterka 2005; Saour 2005; Hall et al. 2007).”
