Abstract
In field trials on Long Island, a mixture of DDT isomers, Rhothane, and DDT proved equally effective in their toxicity and residual action at concns. usually recommended for control of flea beetles and leaf-hoppers. PCH and 3-WAY dusts, while giving good kills within 48 hrs., did not possess the lasting qualities of DDT and its related compounds. Lethane B-71 was only fair for leafhopper control and did not prove effective for the control of the flea beetle.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
