Abstract
Dimethoate, Di-Syston®(O,O-diethyl S-2-(ethylthio)ethyl phosphorodithioate) and phorate granules applied to the soil surface under azalea plants controlled two broods of azalea lacc bugs (Stephanitis pyrioides Scott) with a single application. The initial control brought about by the use of these chemicals seems to be caused by vapors. Phorate did not give systemic control when worked into azalea beds. No phytotoxicity was observed from any treatment nor was there any deterrent to the rooting response of cuttings treated with demeton, Di-Syston or phorate.
