Abstract

During the 1963-64 to 1965-66 seasons three spray trials were carried out to determine the value of new insecticides for the control of codling moth ( Cydia pomonella (L.)) in apple orchards in the Stanthorpe district. Materials tested were applied according to a commercial spray programme. Those tested were aminocarb, azinphos-methyl, Cidial, Carbamult, fenitrothion, lythidathion, methidathion, methiocarb, phosalone and Union Carbide 10854. Azinphos-methyl, methidathion and phosalone were the better treatments and have been recommended for codling moth control in the Stanthorpe district. Methiocarb substantially thinned Granny Smith apples.
