Effect of insecticides on Homoeosoma vagella Zellar damage to macadamia flowersTools Ironside, D.A. and Giles, J. (1981) Effect of insecticides on Homoeosoma vagella Zellar damage to macadamia flowers. Queensland Journal of Agricultural and Animal Sciences, 38 (1). pp. 61-64. ISSN issn:0033-6173
AbstractPre-bloom plus full bloom dipping of flower racemes in solutions of 0 · 05% acephate, 0·01% acephate plus 13 g per 100L Bacillus thuringiensis, 0·01% acephate, and 13 g per 100L B. thuringiensis, in descending order of efficacy, significantly reduced Homoeosoma vagella damage to macadamia flowers and increased the set of immature nuts. Similar applications of 0·01% trichlorphon plus 13 g per 100 L B. thuringiensis and 0·01% trichlorphon reduced damage but did not significantly increase nut set. The addition of 13 g per 100 L of B. thuringiensis to 0·01% acephate and to 0·01% trichlorphonhad no significant effect.
