Abstract

Field experiments with the mosquito adulticide fenthion (Baytex®) compared the conventionalflat-fan nozzle system (Tee Jet 8002SS) and a new high-pressure hollow-cone nozzle system (1/8 MISS). Grounddeposition and aerial flux of the mosquito adulticide fenthion were measured up to 4.83 km downwind by usingfilter paper and yam collectors, respectively. Biological efficacy was investigated by using caged salt-marshmosquitoes (Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus), and caged fiddler crabs (Uca pugilator) were exposed to...
