Abstract
In field tests on the control of grape phylloxera, Phylloxera vitifoliae (Fitch), on the roots of Concord grape, observations indicated that hexachlorocyclopentadiene was effective against the insect. The fumigant appeared to be effective at dosages of 150 to 200 pounds per acre. Applications were made with a hand injector and as a drench to the surface of the soil. No injury was evident on the roots of Concord grape at a dosage of 300 pounds per acre.
