Abstract
In studies on the control of Rhagoletis cingulata. wettable powder formulations of either parathion or methoxychlor were more effective than emulsifiable formulations. The residual LD50 for wettable powder sprays was approximately 6 days following applications. Apparently, no sizable change in toxicity to the fruit fly results from combining the 2 insecticides.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
