D IELDRIN AND PLUM CURCULIO 



One of the most promising new insecticides for control of plum curculio is 

 Dieldrin, a product of Julius Hyman & Co., Division of Shell Chemical Corporation. 

 Chemically it is a chlorinated hydrocarbon belonging to the same general group as 

 Chlordane, benzene hexachloride and toxaphene . The active ingredient is hexachloro 

 epoxy octahydro dimethano naphthalene , — nearly everyone is happy to call it 

 dieldrin. Although it is available as an emulsifiable concentrate and as a dust, 

 the '^0% vrettable powder is suggested for spraying fruit trees, (Until 1953 it was 

 formulated as a 2^% wettable powder. 



EXPERnOCI'TAL TRIALS 



During the past two years, entomologists in most fruit grovang states have 

 made experimental tests of dieldrin for the control of plum curculio on apples and 

 peaches. The reports have been universally good. As a result, the Production and 

 Marketing Administration of the U.SoD.A, approved labels permitting the sale of 

 this material for use on peaches and apples for combatting the first brood of plum 

 curculio in Calyx and early Cover sprays. 



Our o\vn tests at vValtham have given good results as shown on the next page.
