DDT Used To Combat Colorado Potato Beetle In Manitoba
Prof. A. V. Mitchener of the University of Manitoba reports that the Colorado potato beetle can be controlled with 50 percent wettable DDT powder or a fan emulsifiable formulation. The recommended dosage is half a pound of DDT in 40 gallons of water sprayed on potato plants when striped beetles first appear, with 3 to 5 percent DDT dust as an alternative. The insecticide also helps control other potato pests.
