Recommendations for using DDT and wetting agents in high-pressure equipment
Harris outlines application rates for DDT and wetting agents across spray and dust methods. For spray per acre outputs below 10 gallons use emulsions, 10 gallons or more favor DDT wettable powder or colloidal suspension, adding 4 pounds of wetting agent per 100 gallons. Dust applications call for 30 to 85 pounds per acre of 5 percent DDT powder. Equipment options include farmer-owned low-pressure sprayers, custom aircraft sprayers, ground dusters, and high pressure ground sprayers for effective control.
