Codling Moth and Mite Control in 19481

Abstract
Twelve treatments were tested against the codling moth and the clover mite, Bryobia praetiosa. DDT was the most effective in codling moth control and was equally effective in combination with a dinitro compound (DN 111), wettable S, selocide, and Parathion. Two and 3 applns. of DDT were unsatisfactory; 5 applns. were superior to 4 but not significantly so. Four applns. of 1 and 2 lbs. of Parathion and 3 lbs. of methoxychlor failed to give satisfactory codling moth pontrol. Wettable S, DN 111, selocide, and parathion gave equal control of the clover mite. A methane spray (Neotran) and an alkyl sulfide (IN 4200) both failed to give satisfactory mite control and caused foliage and fruit injury.
