Abstract
The effectiveness of granular and spray formulations of endrin against second- and third-generation sugarcane borers, Diatraca saccharalis(F.), on sugarcane was compared in large-plot tests in which aerial and ground methods of applications were utilized. Good control was obtained with both types of formulations. Sprays appeared to be less detrimental than the granules to predacious ant populations. However, the effect of endrin on predator populations should be studied further.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
