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% pints 
Sevin: 
50-percent wettable powder............... 2 pounds

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 
Sevin in the same dust or spray. On cucumber plant- 
ings, if you do this and make applications every 9 days, 
you may reduce the amount of insecticide applied per 
acre by one-half.
