Prodenla litura (*.) 
On fourth-instar larvae chlordane was almost as toxic as was DDT 
(83.3 percent mortality as compared to 95 percent for DDT after 46 hours).— 
Prezal (152). 
Trichoplusia ni (Hbn.), the cabbage looper 
In field tests a 3-percent chlordane dust killed 62.6 percent of the 
larvae in 3 days, and a dust containing 1 percent chlordane plus 0.25 per- 
cent rotenone 52.7 percent. — Sun ejfc ai.. ( 450 ). 
In laboratory and cage tests at Waco, Texas, during 1946 a 20-percent 
chlordane dust was less effective than toxaphene. — Ivy and Ewing ( 237 ). 
Same as for Plerls ranae . — Dills and Odland ( 105 ). 
Unidentified species of cutworms 
When fields of grain, grass, or alfalfa were sprayed or dusted with 
3/4 or 1 pound of chlordane per acre, many species of cutworms were killed.— 
Severin (414) . 
To control cutworms in a prepared seedbed apply about 30 to 40 pounds 
of 5-p©rcent chlordane dust per acre. — Granovsky ( 194 ) . 
Older cutworms are not controlled by chlordane .— U. S. Dept. Agr. Ext. 
Serv. (473 ). 
Chlordane dust is recommended for control of cutworms attacking sweet- 
corn in Florida. — Kelsheimer ejt aj,,. ( 266 ).

Goliae philodlce eurytheme Bdv., the alfalfa caterpillar 
A 5-percent chlordane dust at the rate of 1.25 pounds of toxicant per 
acre reduced the number of caterpillars 52.8 percent in 48 hours and 65.3 
percent in 96 hours. — Smith and Allen (427 ). 
Pleris rapaff (L.), the imported cabbage worm 
In 1946-19^*8 a 3-percent chlordane dust gave 72.6 percent control, 
proving inferior to DDT .and TDE.— Dills and Odland ( 105 . 107). 
In a field test chlordane dust proved superior to benzene hexachloride, 
Brooks and Anderson (48) . 
In laboratory tests a 3-percent chlordane dust killed only 5»6 percent 
of last instar larvae in 2 days as compared to 79.2 percent killed by a 3- 
percent technical DDT dust. In field tests a 3-percent chlordane dust
