Tb129: Chemical Control Of Balsam Gall Midge Paradiplosis Tumifex Gagne (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), R. L. Bradbury, E. A. Osgood

Technical Bulletins

This study was undertaken to test new insecticides for control of the balsam gall midge and to determine effectiveness of later insecticide application in order to expand the effective period for control.


Tb124: Chemical Control Of Balsam Twig Aphid, Midarus Abietinus Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae), R. L. Bradbury, E. A. Osgood Nov 1986

Tb124: Chemical Control Of Balsam Twig Aphid, Midarus Abietinus Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae), R. L. Bradbury, E. A. Osgood

Technical Bulletins

This study was initiated to provide Christmas tree growers with a selection of insecticides capable of effective control of balsam twig aphid (Mindarus abietinus Koch) on balsam fir. Low rates of active ingredients were tested to assure minimal environmental impact and reduced chemical costs
