Abstract

When aerial applications of ultra low volume malathion (1/2 to 1 oz/acre) with or without added PIB-7 (protein hydrolysate) were made weekly for 3 weeks to square mile test plots at Miami, Florida, field populations of Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) were reduced sharply by the initial treatment, and some reduction was still evident 9-10 weeks after the 1st application. Doses used were: malathion at 1 oz/acre; malathion at 1 oz/acre plus PIB-7 at 8 oz/acre; and malathion at 1/2 oz/acre plus PIB-7 at 8 oz/acre.
