Lymantriidae 
Fu proctiE termir.alis (Walk.), the pine brown tail moth 
In laboratory tests a 5-percent chlordane dust applied at the rate of 
10 and 15 pounds per acre was less effective than DDT, toxaphene, and lead 
arsenate. — Petty ( 3o3 ) . 
Olethreutidae 
Carpocapsa pomonella (L.), the codling moth 
In Illinois in 19^6 one pound of chlordane per 100 gallons of water, 
either as a 50-pe r cent wettable powder or as an emulsion, proved less ef- 
fective than lead arsenate or DDT in controlling codling moth on apples. — 
V.'einnan ( ^466 ) . 
An emulsion of chlordane (150 g. chlordane and $00 g. white oil in 
100 liters of water) was almost as good as DDT (88 percent efficacy as com- 
pared to 95 for DDT) in the control of codling moth larvae on apples in 
France in 19^7. There was no phytotoxic action. — Frezal (15?,) • 
Chlordane, 2 quarts of 20-percent concentrate in 100 gallons of water, 
proved less effective than lead arsenate against the codling moth in 
Virginia.— Hough and Hill (227). 
In Indiana Steiner e_t al.. ( U38 )ln 19^+8 reported that chlordane has 
proved of little value for use in control of the codling moth or other 
apple insects. 
In tests to control the codling moth attacking Payne walnuts in 
northern California chlordane was found not only to "be ineffective, hut 
its use resulted in a marked increase in the codling moth infestation, 
which exceeded that which occurred in the unsprayed trees. One spray of 
chlordane, 0.5 pound per 100 gallons of water in 19^6, resulted in 1^ per- 
cent of the nuts being infested as compared to 7.05 percent infested in 
the check.— Michelbacher and Middlekauff (327). 
Grapholitha mplesta (Busck), the oriental fruit moth 
Field tests on peaches in New Jersey showed chlordane to be inferior 
to parathion when applied as sprayw for the control of second and third 
brood oriental fruit moth. — Driggers and "errill (HJi) . 
In Virginia in 19^7 chlordane was not effective in killing oriental 
fruit moth adults. Spray residues of the insecticide, however, were ex- 
trenely toxic to Macrocentrus parasites and residual killing was noted 
for several weeks after application under favorable conditions. — Bcb'r ( 33) . 
Injury by third brood moths reached outbreak proportions in peach 
orchards in Kentucky where chlordane had been used. Bacterium pruni 
seriously affected 17.1 percent of the fruits in chlordane sprnyed plots,
