Abstract

In tests on control of Euscepes postfasciatus, Cylas formicarius elegantulus, and Omphisa anastomosalis. DDT at 2 lbs. of active ingredients/100 gal., lindane and parathion at 0.25 lb./100 gal., and aldrin as an emulsion at 0.25% active ingredients, gave excellent protection when applied as cutting dips in combination with 5 sprays during the season. None of the treatments produced off-flavor or left appreciable residues in the potatoes.
