Forms of the insecticides that are commonly available 
for preparing sprays are listed below; opposite each is 
shown the amount that should be mixed with water in 
order to prepare a spray of the desired strength. (If you 
buy a product in which the percentage of insecticide 
differs from the one indicated here, use proportionately 
more or less of it.) 
Insecticides and forms Amount to apply per acre 
in which they may in 20 to 100 gallons of 
be purchased water 
Lindane: 
25-percent wettable powder__________ 1 pound 
or 
20-percent emulsifiable concentrate____ 1 pint 
Carbaryl: 
50-percent wettable powder__________ 2 pounds 
80-percent wettable powder__________ 1 pound, 3 ounces 
4 lbs./gal. suspension concentrate______ 1 quart 
The fungicides zineb and maneb are toxic to young 
pickleworms. If you apply one of these to your cucurbit 
crop for disease control, you may apply either lindane or 
carbaryl in the same dust or spray. On cucumber 
plantings, if you do this and make applications every 
5 days, you may reduce the amount of insecticide 
applied per acre by one-half.
