Abstract
Survey results concerning chemical control of the cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) in Queensland are reported and differences due to region, breed and type of enterprise are discussed. Results show that chemical control was more intensive in Zebu and Zebu crossbred cattle than could be justified economically, and that a minority of producers with European cattle carried out strategic dipping. Owners of plunge dips did not make regular use of testing facilities.Keywords
