Abstract

Interest in the details of insecticide application has gone through an interesting cycle within the past thirty years. It was in the 1930’s that certain problems in insect control with the materials then available became acute. Scale insects on citrus had developed resistance to hydrogen cyanide in various areas and oil sprays were employed in its place. But the margin was narrow between the amount needed for insect control and that which injured the trees. Hence much attention was paid to formulations and dosages and deposits upon various parts of a sprayed tree. To a somewhat lesser degree, the same situation had come about in the use of lime-sulfur solution for control of other scale insects on deciduous trees.

Chemical names of pesticides mentioned in text are in Table II.
