U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRÏCUI,TURE
U.S.D.A. POLICY ON PESTICIDES

One of the most important responsibilities of the Department of

Agriculture is to develop and facilitate the use of methods and

materials for the control of pests. The Department's research,

education and regulatory programs are expected to make continuing progress in the never-ending struggle to protect man, his food

and fiber supplies, and his forests from the ravages of pests. Such

protection is essential if the American people are to continue to

enjoy their present high standard of living, and if this abundance

of quality food and relative freedom from the hazards of pests is

to be enjoyed by all mankind.

In protecting man, animals, plants, farm and forest products, communities and households against depredation of pests, the Department has vital concern for (1) the health and well-being of people

v^ho use pesticides and those who use products protected by their

use; and (2) for the protection of fish, wildlife, soil, air and water

'from pesticide pollution.

In keeping with this concern, it is the policy of the Department of

Agriculture to practice and to encourage the use of those means

of effective pest control which provide the least potential hazard

to man and animals. When residual pesticides must be used to

control or eliminate pests, they shall be used in minimal effective

amounts, applied precisely to the infested area and at minimal

effective frequency. Biological, ecological or cultural methods or

non-persistent and low toxicity pesticides will be used whenever

such means are feasible and will safely and effectively control or

eliminate target pests.

In carrying out these objectives, the Department will cooperate in

the fullest with the other agencies and departments of Government, and will seek to develop broad areas of collaboration in

establishing the criteria to guide the use and development of pest

control materials.

Further, the USDA will urge that all users of pesticides exercise

constant vigilance to assure the protection of human health by

avoiding unnecessary exposure of crops, livestock, fish and wildlife.

The Department commends this policy to states and local authorities as a guide in their respective jurisdictions.

SUGGESTED GUIDE FOR THE USE OF INSECTICIDES TO CONTROL INSECTS AFFECTING

CROPS, LIVESTOCK, HOUSEHOLDS, STORED PRODUCTS, AND FOREST PRODUCTS—1966

PREFACE

This Handbook is intended to be a guide for entomologists and other research and

extension workers rather than to provide information for individual users of insecticides. It was prepared by the Entomology Research and the Market Quality Research

Divisions, Agricultural Research Service, and the Divisions of Forest Pest Control and

Forest Protection Research, Forest Service, as of January 1, 1966.

This guide suggests uses of chemicals for the control of insects and related pests that

affect crops, livestock, households, forest products, and agricultural products in storage. The information was compiled in consultation with the Pesticides Regulation

Division of Agricultural Research Service, the Federal Extension Service, and the

Cooperative State Research Service. It is emphasized that these insecticide uses are

those suggested by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. However, they are based on

information obtained by various Federal, State, and other research organizations.

This Handbook is intended to supplement information and recommendations issued by

State agencies. The chemical uses it suggests do not necessarily apply to all areas or

parts of the country. There are other suggestions and other materials registered for

use that will meet the requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the provisions of the Pesticide Residue Amendment of 1954 and the

Food Additives Amendment of 1958 to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Tolerances for some insecticides have not yet been established by the Food and Drug

Administration, and previously established tolerances are occasionally reconsidered and

modified. As new tolerances are established or changes made, the Department will

review these suggested uses and modify them as needed to insure that residues do not

exceed the new tolerances. Since new materials and new uses for older materials are

registered throughout the year, we suggest that you keep in touch with your State

agricultural experiment station. State extension service, the Department of Agriculture, or manufacturers of specific products, for up-to-date information.

Many of the suggested uses in this Handbook appear in other publications of the

Department. The important publications are listed. However, some of the earlier

recommendations have been modified and others are new and have not previously appeared in print. The chemical uses suggested in this Handbook take priority over

those in other publications of the Department published before February 1, 1966.

OTHER MEANS OF INSECT CONTROL

In addition to the use of insecticides, there are a number of other

ways to control or to help control insect pests. Natural control

factors, such as insect parasites, predators, and diseases, and adverse weather conditions are continually at work in the field. In

many instances, they reduce and keep pest populations at noneconomic levels. Good sanitation and housekeeping practices are

essential for effective control of house nies, stable flies, cockroaches,

fleas, and similar pests, even when supplemented by the use of

chemicals. Cultural and mechanical practices aid materially in the

control of certain crop pests, including the pink bollworm, boll

weevil, and tobacco hornworm. Crop varieties resistant to insect

pests have been developed and are available to avoid or reduce

damage by such insects as the Hessian fly, wheat stem sawfly, spotted alfalfa aphid, and European corn borer.

Subjecting harvested products to heat or extreme cold in storage

often destroys or inhibits the development of insect infestations.

Insect-free commodities can be protected by insect-resistant packaging and sanitation in storage and in marketing channels.

More satisfactory control of insect pests may frequently be obtained by carefully integrating the use of insecticides or fumigants

with the beneficial effects of biological control agents or other nonchemical measures. It may be necessary to use insecticides only as

a supplement to other control methods.

In the case of any insect infestation, all means of control must be

considered, in order to capitalize on the value of all control factors

and coordinate these factors to the greatest advantage, with the

least harmful effect to the environment and to living organisms

within it. Various State and Federal publications suggest this

approach to pest control. Consult these publications and your

State agricultural experiment station for the latest information.

Do not use insecticides or fumigants unless they are needed.

insecticide preparation for any use for which it is not specified.

Most oil sprays prepared for use on walls of buildings will injure

living plants or animals. Insecticide concentrates prepared for use

on plants may injure or kill treated animals and result in illegal

residues in animal tissues or byproducts.

Only general information can be given here on the effective application of insecticides, since much depends on the habits of the insect

pest, the kind of damage that it causes, the nature and condition of

the infested plants, animals, or commodities, the particular insecticide and formulation used, weather conditions, and the application

equipment. For information to meet special needs, consult your

State agricultural experiment station.

Weather Conditions

Wind, rain, and sun play an important part in the control you get

from outdoor use of insecticides. Keep an eye on the weather. Local

weather reports may be of help in planning insecticide applications. Before you start to treat, watch the tops of trees or use other

means of determining the direction and amount of wind. Generally

speaking, avoid application of insecticides when the wind is blowing faster than 8 miles an hour. Some air movement is helpful.

High and shifting winds, however, can cause an insecticide dust

or spray to be unevenly distributed on the plants and to drift away

from target areas.

Usually the best time for airplane spraying is in the early morning

or late evening. Treating at these times minimizes the harm to bees

and other pollinating insects.

If rain is predicted, it is best to postpone treatment, if possible.

Rain falling soon after you treat may reduce the effectiveness of

an insecticide deposit. Cold weather may have the same effect.

Some insecticides must be applied at temperatures above 50° F. to

be of value.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS IN THE

APPLICATION OF INSECTICIDES

The key to effective use of insecticides without injury to the treated

plants or animals is to follow directions on the label and not use any

Extremes in weather during or following the spraying of fruit trees

may lead to fruit or foliage injury. Injury such as russeting of

fruit may be increased by pecticide sprays if they are applied at

night or during cool, rainy or humid weather. Emulsifiable materials are more likely to cause injury than wettable powders.

11 Use Pesticides Safely—Follow the Label
Condition of Host Plant or Animal

The type and density of plant foliage, as well as the extent of coverage needed, may influence the choice of formulation that is applied.

In some instances a coarse spray will be the most effective; in

others, a fine spray, mist, or fog will give better pest control.

Plants with smooth leaves are apt to have a quicker runoff of spray

material than those with rough surfaces. However, stickers that

are included in the formulation, or that may be added, help the material adhere to the plants.

Sick, emaciated, or stressed animals may react unfavorably

to some treatments that normally are harmless. Thick hair on livestock may keep the insecticide from penetrating. Consider all such

circumstances in selecting an insecticide, type of formulation, or

type of equipment that will provide the best and safest control of

the target pest.

Diluting and Mixing Sprays

Most spray materials are formulated with enough wetting and sticking agents to correct for water hardness and to improve their other

physical properties.

Materials may be purchased to add to the tank mix to improve

spraying properties. However, improper use of an adjuvant can

cause plant injury or reduce control through excessive runoff. An

excessive amount of adjuvant may result when several pesticides

are added to the same tank. Several pesticides that do not injure

plants when applied alone may cause injury when mixed with other

materials. Certain mixtures will result in a breakdown of one or

more of the chemicals.

Before mixing two or more pesticides or adding wetting or sticking

agents, read the labels and consult the manufacturer, a spray compatibility chart, or a spray bulletin regarding possible injury to

plants.

Calibration of Equipment for Applying Insecticides ^

At the start of each growing season, thoroughly inspect and calibrate all equipment you will use to apply insecticides to crops. Re1 Information furnished by the Agricultural Engineering Research Division, Agricultural Research Service.

peat thereafter whenever you use a different rate of application.

It is most essential that you apply the correct dosage, not only to

obtain effective control of the insect pest but also to avoid plant

injury and to be certain that any residue remaining at the time

of harvest or feeding does not exceed the tolerance established for

that particular chemical on the crop you treat.

Power Sprayers.—Before you start to spray, check or calibrate the

sprayer to determine whether it will deliver at the desired rate.

Note: Since viscosity of spray material can affect the discharge

rate, it is preferable to calibrate the sprayer with the mixture you

plan to use. It is also preferable to make your calibration in an

area as similar as possible to the one you plan to treat.

One method of calibrating a sprayer for field use is as follows: (1)

Set two stakes in the ground 40 rods apart (660 feet). (2) With

the sprayer on level ground, fill the tank with the liquid. Then operate the sprayer long enough that all nozzles are discharging

smoothly. Cut off sprayer and refill tank. Then mark the height

of the spray material on a measuring stick that you have calibrated

in gallons for your particular tank. (3) Drive the spray rig one

round trip between stakes at the speed and pressure suggested by

the nozzle manufacturer, with the sprayer in full operation. Spray

only between the stakes. (4) With the sprayer again on level

ground, place the measuring stick in the tank and determine the

gallons of spray used for the round trip. (5) Multiply the number

of gallons used by 33 and divide by the number of feet of width

sprayed. The result of this calculation will be the number of gallons required per acre.

EXAMPLE.—Suppose the boom on your sprayer is 20 feet long, and

it took 5 gallons of spray material to refill the tank after spraying

the round trip during the calibration. Five times 33 divided by 20

equals 8.2 gallons per acre.

If the calibration shows that the application rate is too low, increase

the rate by reducing the speed of travel or increasing the pressure.

You may decrease the rate by doing the opposite in each case.

Power Dusters.—Before starting a dusting operation, check the application rate of the duster unit. Dust mixtures vary in density, and

111
the application rate can vary at a given setting of the feed regulator.

A procedure that can be used to calibrate a duster is as follows:

(1) Measure off an area of at least one-half acre (21,780 square

feet). (2) Fill the dust hopper and set the feed regulator for the

desired application rate. (3) Dust the measured area. Drive at a

constant speed, because rate of speed affects the application rate.

Use of a tractor speedometer is recommended. (4) Refill the hopper

from a weighed amount of dust. Subtract the weight of the dust

left over from the weight of the original amount. This gives the

amount required to fill the hopper and, therefore, the amount applied to the measured half acre.

Applicators for Granules,—Many equipment manufacturers and

some producers of granular insecticides can provide tables showing

the proper settings of the feed mechanism for selected flow rates of

specific materials. It is usually necessary, however, to calibrate the

applicator for each new batch used because of the allowable range

of sizes in a formulation and because of differences in density.

You may find it convenient to affix paper bags at the dispersing

points of the applicator, run a measured course at a measured

speed, and then weigh the granules collected. Calculations can then

be made to show how many pounds of granules are being dispersed

per acre.

Or you may calibrate your applicator in the field. Set the applicator to distribute less than the manufacturer recommends. Then

measure out 1 pound of granules at a time and mark the level in

1-pound increments on the inside of each hopper. The marks tell

you how fast the granules feed down, and the applicator can then

be gradually opened up to get the rate desired.

Aircraft Equipment—For information on aircraft calibration, consult U.S.D.A. Agriculture Handbook No. 287, "Aerial Application

of Agricultural Chemicals."

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE OF

INSECTICIDES

The following safeguards are for the protection of the ultimate consumer of food crops and animal products and of honey bees, other

pollinating insects, fish, and wildlife, as well as of handlers of

insecticides and treated plants.

Insecticides improperly used may cause injury to man and animals.

Use them only when needed and handle them with care. Follow

the directions and heed all precautions on the container label. Do

not exceed the maximum dosage suggested. Always apply the least

amount of an insecticide required. Insecticides should be kept in

closed, well-labeled containers, in a dry place where they will not

contaminate food or feed, and where children and animals cannot

reach them.

Protection of Person Using Insecticides

In handling any insecticide, avoid repeated or prolonged contact

with skin and prolonged inhalation of dusts, mists, and vapors.

Wear clean, dry clothing and wash hands and face before eating

or smoking. Launder clothing daily.

The handling and application of most concentrates and the handling

and application of oil solutions applied as coarse sprays require

special precautions. When handling or mixing a concentrate of any

insecticide, avoid spilling it on the skin and keep it out of the eyes,

nose, and mouth. If any is spilled, wash it off the skin and change

clothing immediately. Launder clothing thoroughly before wearing

it again. If the concentrate gets in the eyes, flush with plenty of

water for 15 minutes and get medical attention.

The following insecticides can be used without special protective

clothing or devices, provided they are in dusts, water sprays, oil

mist sprays, granules, or baits that have been diluted to the

strengths suggested in this handbook. Concentrates of these insecticides should be handled in accordance with the precautions for such

materials as described above. In all cases follow the label precautions.

Reduce the danger of skin exposure to insecticides by wearing protective clothing and equipment as specified on the container label.

If called for, wear a respirator or mask of a type that has been

tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and found to be satisfactory for protection against the particular insecticide being used.

Full-face masks are needed under certain conditions. They should

2 Not from list of threshold limit values.
always be worn by persons applying fumigants in buildings or

warehouses. They should also be worn by persons applying the

type of insecticide aerosols used in commercial greenhouses and

warehouses. In many cases masks are needed by persons loading

insecticides into aircraft or applying them by aircraft. A current

list of acceptable respiratory protective devices for protection

against certain pesticides may be obtained from the Entomology

Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, Md.

20705.

The gas methyl chloride, used as a propellant in greenhouse

aerosols, and the liquid fumigants carbon disulfide, ethyl formate,

ethylene oxide, methyl formate, propylene dichloride, and propylene

oxide are flammable and explosive. Never use them near heat or

fire in any form. Never open containers of these chemicals where

there is little air in circulation without wearing an adequate fullface mask. Do not transfer ethylene dibromide or any liquid fumigant from one container to another in a closed room ; do not breathe

the fumes.

Protection of Persons Handling Treated Plants

If you must transplant or otherwise handle plants within 5 days

after treatment with azinphosmethyl, endrin, demeton, disulfoton,

or parathion, or within 1 day after treatment with methyl parathion or mevinphos, protect your skin by wearing clean, dry cotton

gloves. If gloves become wet, replace them with clean dry ones. If

you must work in close contact with treated crops, as in thinning

or harvesting, you should also wear dry, clean, tightly woven

clothing.

Treatment for Poisoning

It is important to call a physician and give first aid immediately.

If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If two persons

are present, one should give first aid while the other obtains the

insecticide label and calls the physician. Tell him the name of the

insecticide and obtain instructions.

If a person swallows insecticide, have him drink large amounts of

water. Also he should be made to vomit, unless insecticide formulation contained oil. Do not induce vomiting if the insecticide formulation contained either kerosene-type petroleum oil or any thick oily

solvent. Induce vomiting if the insecticide contained xylene as a

solvent. However, always induce vomiting if the victim has swallowed a potent amount of highly toxic material and a physician will

not be available within 30 minutes. A tablespoonful of salt or baking soda in a glass of warm water will help induce vomiting. Have

the victim lie down and keep quiet until you get advice from the

physician. Keep the patient warm.

If a concentrate or oil solution is spilled on the skin or clothing,

remove contaminated clothing, and wash skin with soap and water.

If a person feels sick while using an insecticide or shortly afterwards, call a physician immediately. In all cases make available

the pesticide container and any attached labeling. Information provided by them is extremely valuable to the physician. Inform him

of all recent contacts with insecticides; the one most obvious to

you may not be the one to blame.

If a person is overcome by the vapor of a fumigant, prompt, on-thespot action is essential. Carry the patient outdoors or to a room

free of gas and have him lie down. Remove contaminated clothing

and keep him warm. Administer first aid treatment immediately.

If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Call a physician

immediately. Fumigators should have kits properly equipped with

antidotes required for first aid treatment of a victim of the specific

fumigant being used and instructions on treatments that are to be

administered only by a physician.

In many cities there is a Poison Control Center that will have

available information concerning symptoms and treatment of cases

of actual or suspected poisoning by pesticides; consult your local

telephone directory. If you cannot obtain this information locally,

call the U.S. Public Health Service at Atlanta, Ga., telephone 404-

634-5131, or Wenatchee, Wash., telephone 206-662-5506. For a

list of poison control centers see Public Health Service Publication

No. 1278, ''Directory Poison Control Centers" (February 1965).

Protection of Fish and Wildlife

Whenever possible, select insecticides and methods of application

that are least hazardous to fish and wildlife, especially if insect

control is necessary in important wildlife habitats such as aquatic

areas, forests, and range. Avoid drift of insecticides as much as

possible and limit applications of insecticide to the target area. To

prevent damage to fish, fish-eating birds, and other aquatic animals.

VI Use Pesticides Safely—Follow the Label
be careful not to contaminate streams, lakes, marshes, or ponds by

improper application, or through excessive drift, of insecticides.

Where drift is difficult to control, sprays are recommended instead

of dusts, and ground applications instead of air applications. In

some cases where critical areas such as streams and lake margins

must be treated, it may be possible to choose the insecticide that is

least harmful to fish and wildlife for special treatment. Do not

clean spraying equipment or dump excess spray materials in or

near streams or other water areas where drainage could contaminate the water.

Protection of Insect Parasites and Predators

A grower's program of crop pest control should be designed to take

maximum advantage of any biological control factors that may be

present. Whenever possible, the insecticide should be selective

against the pest species concerned, and of minimum danger to

beneficial insects. If parasites or predators are abundant, it may

be advantageous to defer or omit insecticide treatments.

Protection of Honey Bees and Other Insect Pollinators

Many insecticides are hazardous to honey bees and to other pollinating insects. Damage to bees can be minimized by taking the following precautions :

• Use the material least toxic to bees that will control the insect

pest.

• If a highly toxic material must be used, apply it during hours

when the bees are not visiting the plants. Treatment during the

night or early morning is the safest.

• Use sprays instead of dusts. They are usually less hazardous.

Application with ground equipment is less hazardous to bees

than airplane application.

• Avoid drift of insecticide into bee yards and adjacent crop or

wild plants in bloom.

• Use the lowest effective dosage and make a minimum number of

applications.

• Notify beekeepers at least 48 hours before dusting or spraying

large acreages so that measures can be taken to protect the bees.

The following groupings indicate the relative toxicities of many of

the insecticides to honey bees, as determined by laboratory and field

tests.^ For further information applicable to local conditions, consult your State agricultural experiment station.

Avoiding Harmful Residues on or in Food and Feed

Residues in excess of the established legal tolerances can be avoided

by applying only those insecticides specified for use on the crop or

livestock and by following indicated schedules. Do not exceed

recommended dosages. Observe carefully the safety restrictions,

especially the required interval between the last application and

harvest or feeding and between the last application and slaughter

of animals.

Avoid drift of insecticide sprays or dusts to nearby crops or livestock, especially from applications by airplane and other power

equipment. Do not allow poultry, dairy animals, or meat animals

to feed on plants or drink water contaminated by drift of insecticides.

Sugarbeets are susceptible to contamination with residues of chlorinated hydrocarbons such as aldrin and dieldrin in the soil. Whenever practical avoid the use of these materials on the foliage of

crops grown in rotation with sugarbeets. Do not use aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordane, DDT, or toxaphene in soils where the

crop rotation includes sugarbeets.

Byproducts from a number of crops treated with insecticides may

be safely fed to livestock or poultry if the crops are harvested or

fed after the specified waiting period. However, when byproducts

from some crops treated with certain insecticides are fed to livestock, insecticide residues may appear in meat, milk, or eggs in

excess of established tolerances. Before use, read carefully the

safety restrictions in the last column of the tables beginning on

page 1 of this Handbook to determine if such byproducts as sweet

corn husks, citrus pulp, bagasse, alfalfa threshings, apple pomace,

bean and pea vines, sugarbeet tops, cull potatoes, trimmings from

leafy vegetables, and gin waste from cotton are safe for feeding

to dairy animals, poultry, or animals being finished for slaughter.

Safe Disposal of Empty Insecticide Containers and

Surplus Insecticides

The careful disposal of empty insecticide containers and surplus

insecticides is an important part of safe insecticide use. When possible, growers should carry their empty insecticide containers to a

sanitary land-fill type dump. If a suitable dump is not available,

bum empty insecticide bags and cardboard containers in the open

and bury the ashes in an isolated place where they will not contaminate water supplies. Keep out of the smoke. Break or crush glass

and metal containers (except pressurized cans) and bury in an

isolated place where they will not contaminate water supplies. Pour

excess insecticides into a hole dug in level ground in an isolated

place where they will not contaminate water supplies, and cover

with dirt to a depth of at least 18 inches. If you have trash collection service, wrap empty insecticide containers in heavy layers

of newspapers before placing them in trash cans.

For more specific information on the safe use of insecticides, consult your State agricultural experiment station or one of the following U. S. Department of Agriculture publications:

TOXICITY OF INSECTICIDES

All insecticides must be considered potentially toxic to man and

animals. However, the degree of toxicity is only one of several

factors in the use of insecticides that determine the hazard to man.

The primary hazard lies in failure to follow the precautions and

directions for use indicated on the insecticide label and summarized in this Handbook. These precautions and directions depend not only on the degree of toxicity and the nature of toxicity

of the insecticide to be used, but also on its stability. Some of the

highly toxic insecticides that must be handled with great caution

dissipate so rapidly upon exposure on plants or animals or in the

soil, that they create no serious residue hazard. On the contrary,

some insecticides of low toxicity persist in the soil, on plants, and

in meat and fat of animals that feed on these plants and may thus

create critical residue problems.

In general, arsenical insecticides are very stable and may accumulate in the soil in quantities sufficient to injure plants. Small

quantities are taken up by plants, which in time are eaten by

animals.

Some of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides also persist in the

soil for years. Certain crops grown in such soils may pick up

enough insecticide through contamination or translocation to exceed tolerances, even though the insecticide was not applied to

them but to previous crops in the rotation. For example, enough

aldrin or chlordane may persist in soil from year to year to contaminate such sensitive root crops as sugarbeet or carrot.

Organic phosphate insecticides generally are more acutely toxic

to animals than chlorinated hydrocarbons, but they usually do not

leave highly persistent residues, and they are less likely to accumulate in animal tissues. Diazinon and parathion applied to the soil

become ineffective within 2 or 3 months and present no problems in

rotations of crops. The persistence of insecticides is reflected in

the waiting periods required between application and harvest. The

toxicity of pesticides is a major factor reflected in the tolerances,

but another important factor is need for the purpose. The tolerance

must be set at a safe level as gaged by data in animal feeding

studies; an adequate safety factor is used in translating animal data

to man, but a tolerance is not established at a level higher than

required for the purpose in accordance with good agricultural practive even if the toxicity of the pesticide is so low that a higher

tolerance would be safe. Many factors must be considered in the

selection of insecticides for speciñc purposes. However, if pertinent

factors are about equal, preference should be given to insecticides

that have low toxicity, persist only a short time, and do not accumulate in animal tissues.

The following two tables provide information on the acute toxicity

of various insecticides. In the first table, acute oral and dermal

LD50 values are given for most of the compounds included in this

Handbook. An LD50 value is a statistical estimate of the dosage

necessary to kill 50 percent of a population of white rats or other

test animals within a specified period under standardized conditions

in the laboratory. The toxicity of a chemical to such animals may

vary, however, with species, age, sex, and nutritional state, and

with the formulation of the insecticide and manner of administration. Also, the LD50 values are usually expressed in terms of a

single dosage, which provides little or no information on possible

cumulative effects of repeated dosages of the compound.

In the second table are given the acute LC50 values (lethal concentration) of some of the common insecticides for two fresh water

fishes—rainbow trout and bluegills.

LD50 or LC50 values are useful in comparing different chemical

compounds. However, they have certain limitations, and caution

must be used in interpreting them in relation to actual use hazards.

Since the values are obtained for other animals or fish, they can

be applied to man only with reservations. Under comparable conditions and dosages, highly toxic substances present a greater

hazard than those of low toxicity. However, such factors as

dosage, frequency of application, and charactertistics with respect

to accumulation and persistence in animal tissues must be considered. For example, a highly toxic material applied at a low

dosage may be less hazardous than a much less toxic one used at a

high dosage.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES THAT FOLLOW

The tables that follow list the insecticides to use in the control of

the major insect pests and give the formulations to purchase,

dosages to use, and brief instructions on where and when to apply

them. The tables also include the legal tolerances for insecticide

residues permitted on food or feed products, and the minimum

time that jnust be allowed after applying the suggested dosages

of insecticides in order to meet these tolerances. Other safety restrictions on the specific use of certain insecticides are given in the

last column of the same page as the insecticide. Always read these

safety restrictions to see if any of them apply to the insecticide that

you plan to use and then observe those that are appropriate to your

situation. For general precautions in the use of insecticides, see

page iv.

With few exceptions the crops, insects, and insecticides are listed

alphabetically. See page xii for the identification of the insecticides.

The insecticides listed for each insect are alternatives and are to

be used separately unless mixtures of two or more materials are

indicated by plus (+) signs.

"Formulation" refers to the form of the insecticide, usually as purchased. Dusts, baits, fumigants, aerosols, and granules are generally applied at the strength purchased. Emulsifiable concentrates,

wettable powders, suspension concentrates, and powders are to be

diluted with water unless otherwise indicated. The amount of

water to use will depend on the output of the equipment.

A single entry in a box applies to all the insecticides and formulations opposite that box, except as specified.

A dash in the tolerance column means that no tolerance had been

established at the time this guide was prepared. A dash in any

other column indicates that there is no appropriate entry.

The insecticide dosages given in this Handbook are the maximums

suggested for mature plants or animals. Often they may be reduced for immature plants or animals without loss in effectiveness.

Effective dosages may also be reduced by careful attention to application techniques or by the use of highly efficient, well maintained

equipment under favorable weather conditions. However, be careful not to exceed the suggested dosages except as indicated on the

registered insecticide label. Dosages larger than those suggested

in these tables may leave illegal residues on the harvested product

unless more time is allowed between last application and harvest

than is suggested in the table.

The principles followed in the commercial use of insecticides on

crops, livestock, or stored products, should also be followed in their

use in the home and the home garden. However, untrained persons

should not use any of the insecticides labeled POISON and illustrated with the drawing of the skull and crossbones.

Trade names are used in this bulletin solely for the purpose of providing specific information. Mention of a trade name does not

constitute a guarantee or warranty of the product by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
