Insecticide supplies seen ample for coming year

Iowa State College extension entomologist Harold Gunderson says the insecticide supply looks good with no current shortages of major standbys like lindane, aldrin, DDT, chlordane, toxaphene, heptachlor, benzene hexachloride, malathion and methoxychlor. Local shortages may appear where outbreaks spike demand. farmers should delay purchases until needs arise, but those facing cutworms or corn rootworms may buy now. Fertilizer firms may mix aldrin or chlordane in corn starter grades for rootworm control. Insecticide use grows as farmers see crop and livestock protection value.
