Bugged by Congress Uproar Helps California Citrus Recover
The tale centers on Riley, chief entomologist, who proposed funding to send an entomologist to Australia or New Zealand to battle cottony cushion scale. Congress balked over past trip costs, but later funded a Melbourne exhibit. Koebele released the vedalia beetle, which controlled the scale, restoring California’s citrus industry and boosting Orange shipments from 700 to over 2,000 carloads by 1889. The story notes ongoing biological control efforts by UC and US agencies, with recent explorations for natural enemies of pests.
