In South Carolina some control was given in 1939 on field plots 
by three applications of a cube dust (1.25 percent of rotenone), 
but in oage tests with insecticides, including cube, the only one to 
give any mortality of the larvae was a dust of 10 percent lead arse- 
nate which killed only 61 pero ent •— Watts (658) . 
Rotenone has been recommended against the pickleworm on cucum- 
bers, squashes, and cantaloupes in home and victory gardens.— *7at son 
(657) | White and Doolittle (683). 
Evergestis rimosalis (Guen.), cross-striped cabbage worm 
Derris and Tephrosia were more effective than Lonchocarpus of 
the same guaranteed rotenone content.— Arant (26). " 
Hymenia (recurve! is (F.) ( ■fascialis (Cram.)), the Hawaiian beet webworm 
Derris and other rotenone-bearing dusts were of no value in con- 
trol of this pest on spinach in Virginia.— Walker and Anderson (642). 
In New South Wales, laboratory tests indicated that weekly ap- 
plications of a dust of 1 pound of derris and 7 pounds of kaolin or 
talo at 50 pounds per acre would be effective against larvae on the 
silver beet.— New South Wales Department of Agriculture (440 ) . 
Loxostege stictioalis (L.) , the beet webworm 
In laboratory tests there was no significant difference in ef- 
fectiveness between dusts containing 0*75 percent of rotenone and 1*5 
percent of resins from cube root. Paris green is the standard con- 
trol in Montana. Small webworms, however, may be killed by pyrethrum, 
rotenone, or nicotine sprays*— Pepper and Hastings (462, 463 ) • 
Maruca testulalls (Geyer), bean pod borer 
Dusts and sprays containing rotenone gave inferior results in 
Puerto Rico in 1940.— Scott ( 655 ). 
Phlyctaenia rubigalis (Guen.), the celery leaf tier, greenhouse leaf tier 
Rotenone was recommended against this pest on oelery in Florida. 
—Watson (657 ) • 
Pionea for fi calls (L.) , garden pebble moth 
In England sprays or dusts containing Derris or Lonchocarpus 
were suggested for the control of this insect on garden crops in 1942. 
—Walton (S53).
