Abstract
An 8% fenvalerate (snythetic pyrethroid) impregnated ear tag was at least equal in controlling Amblyomma maculatum Koch on cattle to those containing 15% stirofos and 10% chloropyrifos, which had been highly effective in extensive evaluations in prior years. The residual effect of the stirofos impregnated ear tag was adequate to protect animals’ ears from ticks for 11 wks, but when the ear tag was applied 6 wk early, it caused only marginally satisfactory control against a heavy tick population.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
