Abstract

Abstract Carbaryl, chlorfenvinphos, diazinon, disulfoton, parathion, phorate, fenitrothion, thionazin and trichlorphon were tested for their effectiveness in killing wireworms by broadcast treatments. Each insecticide was tested once or more in two field trials cropped with wheat and two cropped with potatoes. Phorate and parathion were very lethal to wireworms at 4 Ib active ingredient per acre (4–48 kg/ha). Thionazin and diazinon were intermediate in effectiveness and the other insecticides ineffective.
