Abstract
Best control was given by P compounds; S compounds and chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides were of little value against this pest. Methyl parathion was much less effective than parathion. Compound 923 and Ovotran are apparently slow-acting materials. When combined with parathion, however, the former showed no appreciable residual qualities. Although demeton and parathion were the most satisfactory materials tested, an acaricide having longer lasting qualities and greater efficiency would be preferable. All factors considered, parathion was the most practical of all those materials tested to control this pest.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
