- Abstract
This article reports on seed dressing trials in East Anglia to study the control of wheat bulb fly in winter wheat. Trials with four replicates were done on a clay loam site in Essex, and on a peaty loam site in the Isle of Ely. All materials gave a good control of wheat bulb fly at the clay site but trichloronate at 3 oz per bushel, and to a lesser extent dichlofenthion were phytotoxic. Clorfenvinphos also delayed growth but gave the best control. There was only a moderate fly attack at the peat site but all treatments gave a significant degree of control. Trichloronate at 3 oz per bushel was highly phytotoxic at the peat site. Trichloronate at 2 oz per bushel seriously retarded growth, as did dichlofenthion, and there was a slight growth delay with diazinon and with chlorfenvinphos.
