Low volume malathion spray aids pest control
ARS developed a low volume aerial spray method using undiluted malathion to combat pests. Tested since 1962 on grasshoppers, it reduced material per acre and allows higher flights, lowering costs and minimizing risks to humans and wildlife. It now supports cereal leaf beetle and boll weevil programs in the Midwest and Texas High Plains.
