Abstract
TH 6040, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-urea, affected 3rd-stadial larvae of Porthetria dispar (L.) at an EC50 of 0.013 ppm of artificial diet. On apple trees infested with gypsy moth, mistblower rates from 0.125 to 0.00139 lb AI/10 gal water protected foliage equally well and as well as 0.75 lb AI carbaryl/10 gal water. The parasitoid, Apanteles melanoscelus (Ratzeburg), was affected within the gypsy moth host by the TH 6040 treatments.Keywords
