THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL PHOSPHATE INSECTICIDES ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS OF RED DELICIOUS APPLE LEAVES

Abstract
Application of the phosphate insecticides Diazinon, Guthion, and Ethion reduced the photosynthesis rate of Red Delicious apple foliage. Diazinon had the greatest effect followed by Ethion and Guthion. Maximum retardation of photosynthesis occurred immediately after treatment and became less so with time, but was still significant after 14 days.
