CONTROL WITH INSECTICIDE 
Lindane and Sevin are the insecticides recommended 
for controlling the pickleworm. Lindane usually is most 
effective. 
They may be applied as dusts or sprays. Dusts are 
ready to use when purchased. A spray is prepared by 
mixing a wettable powder with water. Lindane is also 
available in an emulsifiable concentrate for mixing with 
water. 
Note.—Lindane spray prepared from emulsifiable concen- 
trate is not recommended for cantaloup; it may cause unde- 
sirable flavor. Use of lindane in any form on cantaloup, 
L cucumber, and winter squash may have a slight effect on flavor. 
Do not use lindane in fields to be planted later to potatoes or 
other root crops. 
d Some injury to the foilage of cucurbit plants may 
occur if several days of rain or high humidity follow the 
use of Sevin. 
Each dust or spray application should provide either 
4 ounces of actual lindane or 1 pound of actual Sevin 
per acre. For example, apply 25 pounds of either a 1- 
percent lindane dust or a 4-percent Sevin dust per acre. 
Do not exceed these dosages.
