- Abstract
This article reports on pesticide trials at Bedfordshire and Lincolnshire, England to study the control of cabbage root fly on cauliflowers. Four replicated trials were done on cauliflowers in Lincolnshire and Bedfordshire in 1965 to compare various mecarbam formulations with bromophos, diazinon, N-2790, and dieldrin. The most effective treatment was mecarbam granules, and this material was also effective used either as an emulsifiable concentrate or wettable powder drench. The mecarbam dust and dip treatments were unsatisfactory and did not compare with the dieldrin dip, the latter being better than the mecarbam drench. It was noted that, early in the season, plants suffered slight phytotoxic effects from the mecarbam granular and drench treatments, but not from the dips. These symptoms were soon outgrown. Further trials were done on commercially grown crops in 1966. It can be concluded from the two seasons work, that mecarbam granules are effective in controlling cabbage root fly when compared with diazinon. N-2790 also shows promise in the control of this pest.
