Abstract
Various vegetable and agronomic crops were treated with insecticide applied through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems (= chemigation). With few exceptions, insecticides applied this way gave effective control as long as they had low water solubility and could be formulated in non-emulsifiable mineral or vegetable oils.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
