Abstract
Oleander leaves, the stem base of which were held in solutions of Phosfon (2,4‐dichlorobenzyltributyl phosphonium chloride) and other plant‐growth‐retarding compounds were unable to support populations of the oleander aphid. A Phosfon concentration of 10−3M eliminated the aphid population.Keywords
