The value of karaya gum to increase the effectiveness of niootine 
sulfate sprays is established. A 1-400 concentration of nicotine sul- 
fate with soap was required to oontrol aphids, Macrosiphum ambrosiae 
(Thomas)* The addition of 0.2 percent of karaya gum in combination with 
a commercial spreader-emulsifier made it effective at a dilution of 
1-2,000. In similar tests on the bean aphid nicotine sulfate with soap 
was as effective at 1-2,000 with the addition of 0.2 percent ksraya gum 
as at 1-800 without it.— Bddy and Meadows (127 ). 
The addition of 0.2 percent of karaya gum considerably increased 
the effectiveness of all the nicotine sprays used against Frankliniella

When karaya was combined with nicotine sulfate plus a wetting agent, 
the toxicity to the bean aphid was increased 8 to 27 percent over the 
toxicity of the nicotine and gum alone.--Garman ( 151 ).
