Evaluation of certain acaricides and insecticides for effectiveness, residues, and influence on crop flavor

The present series of reports includes pesticidal, flavor, and chemical or bioassay residue studies of certain acaricides applied to pears, apples, and peaches and of insecticides applied to soils in which several root crops were grown. The chemical names and formulas of the acaricides may be found in table 1, page 47; those of the insecticides in table 1, page 87. The technical results reported in this series of studies do not constitute pest-control recommendations. Public law No. 518, the so-called Miller Amendment to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, applies to these compounds when used on these fruit and vegetable crops. Specific recommendations for pest-control use are issued by the Agricultural Extension Service.
