- Title
INSECTICIDAL CONTROL OF WHEAT BULB FLY LARVAE.
- Authors
Bardner, R.
- Abstract
This article presents a study on the use of insecticides in controlling wheat bulb fly larvae. Methods of applying insecticides during the period of larval attack would be useful. Sprays are an obvious choice, but were inferior to seed dressings or combine drill treatments in these experiments. Soil insecticides are usually most effective as a seed dressing, and this is also the simplest method of protection. Heptachlor and dieldrin were the best of twenty-seven insecticides tested as seed dressings against wheat bulb fly.
