INSECTICIDES FOR THRIPS. 



Results of Experiments at Urbana, 111. 



ft is conclusive from my experiments 

 that thrips, especially when feeding ex 

 ])osed on the surface of the leaf, can bi 

 controlled by sprayin<r with solutions con 

 taiiiiiij.; iiicotin(\ Twenty cubic centi 

 meters, or two-thirds of an ounce, of a 

 forty ])or cent nicotine insecticide or 

 tobacco extract in a gallon of water litis 

 been used to ad\'antii<;e on roses without 

 ;iny injury fo the flowers or plants. Sexcn 

 and (Hie half cubic centimeters, or one 

 fourth ounce, has proved as great a 

 strength of the insecticide as can safely 

 be eiii|doyed in spraying cucumbers, excii 

 when flic sprtiy is washed off shortly 

 tifter eacli ajiplication. This strength has 

 been eflicieiit in killing those thrips hit 

 by the spniy. 



Tlie ninount of the insecticides usually 

 advised is one to two tcaspoonfuls, one 

 eighth to one-fourth ounce, to a gallon of 

 water. It will be noted that this amount 

 is much less than that used in our experi 

 ments, except in the cucumber experi- 

 ments, where the maxinuim quantity ad 

 \ised by the imimifacturers was used. 



Considered from the standpoint of pun- 

 nicotine, ;vhich of course is the rotil basis 

 of coinpari.son, both for the insecticides 

 thems.dves .and all spniy maferials niaile 

 from them, the quantities Avere: In the
