Abstract
Ten insecticides formulated as baits were evaluated in the greenhouse against Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel). Cutworm larvae (4th instar) from a laboratory culture were used to infest artificially corn seedlings. Apple pomace and wheat bran were effective baits at 20 lb of bait-insecticide formulation (½ 1b of active toxicant) per 13,068 ft of row. Effective toxicants included: trichlorfon, American Cyanamid CL-47470 (cyclic propylene (diethoxyphosphinyl) dithioimidocarbonate), Abate® (O,O-dimethyl phosphorothioate O,O-diester with 4,4'-thiodiphenol), ethyl parathion, mirex, TDE. and carbaryl.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
