Plots treated witn various insecticides prior to planting strawberries in 1950 and 1952 were infested with eggs of 2 species of Brachyrhinus in the fall of 1953. Effectiveness of the different materials was compared by larvae counts made in the infested areas in 1954. Aldrin and dieldrin at 5 and 7.5 lb. and chlordan at 15 lb. per acre gave excellent control of B. ovatus for the longer period of time. B. sulcatus was apparently a little more difficult to control, requiring 7.5 lb. per acre of either aldrin or dieldrin. Aldrin, dieldrin, and heptachlor gave effective control of B. sulcatus the 2d year at 3.5 and 5 lb. per acre. Toxaphene, DDT, BHC, and methoxychlor did not give control at any of the dosages tried.
