Field Tests with New Insecticides for Control of the Sugarcane Borer in Louisiana in 19591

Abstract
In tests conducted in Louisiana in 1959, good control of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), was obtained with granular formulations of 2% endrin and 2% S.D. 4402(1,3,4,5,6,7,8,8-octachloro-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-methanophthalan). Granular formulations of 5% Guthion® (O, O-dimethyl S-(4-oxo-1,2,3,-benzotriazin-3-(4H)-ylmethyl) phosphorodithonte) and 10% Sevin® (1-naphthyl N-methylearbamate) also showed some promise of being effective against the borer.
