- Abstract
This article reports on single-row trials of experimental seed dressings to study the control of wheat bulb fly in winter wheat in England. Experimental materials were tested against wheat bulb fly in 1964/65 and 1965/66 by formulating them as seed dressings, sticking the insecticidal dressing and organomercury fungicide to the seeds with methyl cellulose and sowing the seeds in infested fields as 10 ft rows replicated four times. Seeds dressed with heptachlor, as a standard, and with fungicide alone, as a control, were included for comparison. Of the 23 experimental materials tested, ethion and carbophenothion gave the best control of wheat bulb fly and did not damage plants. Ethion has now been tested in full-scale field trials by the Advisory Service and carbophenothion is being similarly tested in 1966/67 trials.
