Notes:
Diazinon, mecarbam, fenchlorphos, disulfoton, chlorfenvinphos and trichlorphon, gave good control of carrot fly on celery on peat soil. Ethion was less effective but gave a commercial control, comparable to gamma-BHC dips made from an oil-free liquid formulation. Diazinon dip made from a wettable powder formulation was slightly less effective than the latter and caused slightly more check to the transplants. Fenchlorphos dip was not effective.The most promising and practical treatment was the application of granule formulations of diazinon, mecarbam, chlorfenvinphos and disulfoton, using a granule applicator mounted on a mechanical planter. The granules were delivered into the soil around the plant roots. The incorporation of dieldrin, fenchlorphos and diazinon into potting soil, used for making soil blocks into which seedlings are pricked out, controlled heavy attacks of carrot fly on self-blanching celery. Mecarbam was phytotoxic when mixed into the potting soil.Infestations of aphids, Cavariella spp, and leaf miner, PMlophylla heraclei (F.) were kept at low levels by soil treatments of disulfoton, trichlorphon and mecarbam.
