“…Foliar applications of organophosphates such as malathion and dimethoate applied to the crop have shown some efficacy against eggs and newly-hatched larvae of H. marginata on wheat in Romania (Popov et al, 1998); and in the UK chlorpyrifos effectively reduced numbers of larvae and galls in wheat when applied at the visible flag leaf stage (Zadoks GS 37) (Roberts et al, 2014). Control has also been achieved with pyrethroids such as alpha-cypermethrin (Popov et al, 1998), and with deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin and tau-fluvalinate on winter wheat (Censier et al, 2012;Ellis et al, 2014;Censier et al, 2016).…”
