- Abstract
This article examines the chemical control of wheat bulb fly in East Midlands, England in 1968-1970. Under severe infestation pressure and delayed emergence following middle-October drilling, only dieldrin seed dressing gave an acceptable control of wheat bulb fly, or Leptohylemyia coarctata. The control afforded by commercial seed dressings of BHC, carbophenothion, chlorfenvinphos, ethion and the experimental compounds GS 13006 and pirimiphos-ethyl, and by chlorfenvinphos granules was markedly inferior to that obtained with dieldrin seed dressing.
