J. D. R. Vernon, E. B. Dennis

Abstract

Trials carried out between 1959 and 1963 showed that 0·04% demeton- methyl, 0·04% dimethoate, 0·04% ethion, 0·04% oxy-demeton-methyl and 0·05% trithion proved to be the best of 18 materials tested for control of red spider mite on strawberries; 0·05% vamidothion also gave good control in the only trial where tested. Of the other materials tested 0·04% azinphos- methyl, 0·025% chlorbenside, 0·03% tetradifon and 0·07% schradan gave moderate control.
