SOME SYSTEMIC INSECTICIDES COMPARED AS SEED TREATMENTS AGAINST APHIDS.

- Abstract
This article presents the results of an experiment on the comparison of systemic insecticides as seed treatments against aphids. In glasshouse tests, 13 insecticides were applied as seed dressings to wheat, kale and sugar beet seeds. None of the insecticides affected the growth of kale, but 18133, 4536, dimethoate and phorate delayed the emergence of wheat seedlings. In contrast, the emergence of beet seedlings was stimulated by 18133, 4536, dimethoate, disyston and phorate. Dimethoate was the most persistent and toxic, but demeton, disyston and phorate were good. Isolan, tested only on kale, was toxic and persistent. Menazon and 18133, would have probably been effective at higher rates. Schradan and Trithion were ineffective.
