Abstract

DDT, parathion, EPN, Diazinon, Metacide, CS-708, methoxychlor and ryania were the most promising materials tested. Parathion and metacide were especially effective in killing eggs, young larvae in the fruit, and adults, but weathered too rapidly. Best control was obtained with a combination of DDT and parathion. Parathion, Metacide and methoxychlor increased russetting on Golden Delicious apples but did not injure red varieties of apples.
