A 3-percent chlordane dust gave 93 percent control of meadow 
spittlebug on strawberries. — Wis, Univ. ( $03 ) . 
Chlordane controlled spittlebugs "but was inferior to methoxychlor. — 
Wilson (500). 
Cicadellidae 
Circulifer tenellus (Baker), the beet leafhopper 
In Utah chlordane dust, spray, and emulsion, applied four times at 
weekly intervals, beginning with date of planting and during the period 
of leafhopper movement, did not control the curly top disease of tomatoes 
because the leafhoppers fed upon the tomatoes, thus transmitting the 
disease before receiving a lethal dose. — Dorst and Peay ( ill ). 
Enrooasca fabae (Harr.), the potato leafhopper 
In Indiana in 19^6 chlordane proved inferior to DDT. — Gould ( 1 , 88 ) . 
When compared as dusts 3-percent chlordane was inferior (50.6 per- 
cent mortality in 3 days) to 0.5-percent DDT (9^.7 percent mortality). — 
Sun et al. (*4-50). 
Chlordane, when applied alone, seemed to have an attracting effect 
on the leafhoppers. One week after treatment the potato leafhopper 
population increased on chlordane treated plots 2.ij- times the untreated 
and by the end of k weeks, increased 3»1 times. The plants in the chlor- 
dane plots yellowed and were stunted in sharp contrast to the untreated 
plots which were also seriously injured by the leafhoppers, but didn't 
sustain such high numbers. Chlordane, 1 pound per acre decreased alfalfa 
seed yield 25 percent, but the combination of 1 pound DDT plus 1/2 pound 
chlordane (the best treatment tried) increased the yield 102 percent. — 
Wilson (500). 
Unidentified species 
Some leafhoppers were killed by chlordane (3/^ or 1 pound per acre) 
applied for the control of grasshoppers. — Severin ( 41^- ) . 
Cicadidae 
Magicicada septendeclm (L.), the periodical cicada 
Chlordane spray, 6.4 gallons of 50-percent emulsion or 8 pounds of 
50-percent wettable powder per 100 gallons of water, was ineffective 
even when the cicadas were caught in the spray fog and well covered. —
