work the insecticide thoroughly 

 into the upper 3 inches of the soil. 

 See table below for rate of appli- 

 cation and for crops for which 

 approved. 



An alternative treatment is to ap- 

 ply one of the recommended insec- 

 ticides, alone or mixed with ferti- 

 lizer, in the drill row at the time 

 of planting. Row treatments give 

 crop protection, but are not as ef- 

 fective in reducing the overall bee- 

 tle population the first year as are 

 broadcast treatments. See table 

 below for rate of application. 



Noncultivated Land 



Xoncultivated land, such as 

 lawns, industrial and railroad prop- 



erties, roadsides, and wastelands, 

 that are not used for grazing ani- 

 mals can be treated with a surface 

 application of DDT or dieldrin. 

 Surface applications require heavier 

 dosages than soil applications. 



For best results, apply the insec- 

 ticide only during the winter and 

 early spring. See the table below 

 for the rate of application. 



Pasture and Forage Crops 



For treatment of hay crops, pas- 

 tures, and established stands of for- 

 age legumes, consult white- fringed 

 beetle program personnel.
