A Study of Insecticides, With Special Reference to Factors 
Governing Effectiveness Such as Physical Characteristics, Weather 
and Distribution Over Plants. Dusts Learn effect of: particle 
size of insecticides and acaricides on rate of kill, control and 
period of effectiveness; particle size of diluent in relation to 
insecticide or acaricide (or carrier) on rate of kill, control and 
period of effectiveness; coverage of plants with insecticide or 
acaricide on rate of kill, control and amount of damage; weather 
conditions on amount of insecticide deposited, distribution on 
plant and effectiveness as related to above; air velocity of 
dusting machine on distribution of insecticide or acaricide on 
deposit, etc. Sprays: Learn effect of: placement of nozzle and 
its size, dilution of insecticide or acaricide deposited and 
distribution over plant on rate of kill, control, and period of 
effectiveness; weather on distribution on plant and effectiveness 
as related to previous statement; Systemic insecticide and acari- 
cides. Learn effect of: method and time of application on initial 
control and period of effectiveness and soil type on their efficiency.

Hazards Associated with the Use of Pesticides. To learn (1) 
rate of insecticidal accumulation in soils from normal usage, 
(2) plant and animal tolerance for varying degrees of soil contamina- 
tion, (3) rate of insecticidal decomposition in a 4-year rotation in 
soils foliowing initial applications at normal and excessive rates. 
Ent. 283 (NC-19) 
Determination of Pesticide Residues on Raw Agricultural 
Commodities. (1) Learn residues of insecticides, fungicides, 
and herbicides on and in forages, fruit, vegetables, and milk, 
following application of pesticides. (25 Improve current analytical 
methods and develop new ones for learning pesticide residues on 
and in raw agricultural commodities.

A Study of the Influence of Pesticides, Fertilizers, and Other 
Agents on the Flavor of Fresh, Canned, and Frozen Foods. To pro- 
vide the Plant Pathology and Entomology Departments and the New 
Jersey Canners Association with information on the influence of 
certain pesticides on flavor of fresh and canned foods.

The Effect of Pesticides on Quality of Fruits and Vegetables. 
Develop a more efficient, objective, and uniform method of deter- 
mining quality and more particularly the flavor of pesticide 
treated fruits and vegetables.
