Abstract
Dipping, spraying, and spray-dipping trials were carried out during 1972–1973 and 1974–1975 against Psoroptes ovis, the common scab mite of sheep and cattle, in 36 trials with 96 cattle. The test chemicals were SD 14114, crufomate (Ruelene®), cyhexatin (Plictran®), coumaphos (Co-Rap®), malathion, toxaphene, and phosmet (Prolate®, GX-l18). SD 14114, crufomate, and malathion were ineffective at all concentrations and by all methods tried. Cyhexatin was ineffective by spray-dip, but effective by vat dipping. Coumaphos at 0.25% AI (in both single and double applications) was ineffective by vat dipping, and 2 dippings with phosmet at 0.20% AI were required to control mites. Toxaphene was effective applied once by either method.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
