“…It has now been shown that certain systemic insecticides are active against soldier fly larvae (Mackay et ale 1974;Saunders 1975;Dixon et al 1974). Research has established that the materials can be used to protect transient crops, particularly maize (Fellowes 1971;Mackay 1974).…”

A range of insecticides, their formulations, rates of application, and method of distribution were tested. Carbofuran and isophenphos proved most effective, but control was poor (46-66% mortality in autumn trials). There was no difference between seed treatment and granular formulations although spraying high rates (6.0 kg a.i.z'ha) on to existing pasture proved effective. Results indicate that during winter-spring pasture production was related to larval population and that a population reduction of 1000 larvae/rn-is likely to produce an additional 156 kg DM/ha, i.e., in these trials a 3-10% growth response. Comparisons are made with other published data to support this suggestion.

“…A number of insecticides have been shown to be active against soldier fly (Inopus rubriceps) larvae (Mackay et ale 1974;Saunders 1975;Dixon & Parr 1975). Accurate placement of the insecticide with the seed is highly desirable in order that seedling roots have immediate access to the material.…”

A trial compared three types of seed treatments using five different insecticides: trichlorfon, isophenphos, carbofuran, methomyl, and omethoate. Coating method had no effect on insecticidal activity, although seedling growth and subsequent pasture production were greater from ryegrass seed loaded with fertiliser than from experimental or commercial ('Prillcote') dressings incorporating insecticide only. Only isophenphos and carbofuran controlled larvae, and the former gave greater pasture production than all other treatments. These results were supported by analyses of insecticide residues which showed isophenphos and carbofuran to be the most persistent.
