Other claims from this paper (16)
- Observation Roxy diluted with Nile water yielded a 2 ml cream layer.
- Observation Roxy diluted with ground water yielded a 5 ml cream layer above acceptable limits.
- Observation Malathate had no separation or creaming layer with either water type.
- Intervention effect Nile water increased surface tension for six listed spray solutions relative to ground water.
- Observation Proklame foam volume was 53 cm with Nile water and 49 cm with ground water.
- Observation Roxy spray pH was 2.3 with Nile water and 2.5 with ground water.
- Observation Malathate spray pH was 3.9 with Nile water and 5.5 with ground water.
- Observation Runner and Penny spray pH ranged from 7.1 to 8.0.
- Observation Tracer spray pH was 8.1 with both water types.
- Intervention effect Ground water increased suspensibility and viscosity compared with Nile water.
- Intervention effect Nile water increased spray density compared with ground water.
- Observation Tested insecticides differed significantly in efficacy against potato tuber worm larvae.
- Intervention effect Insecticide mixtures with Nile water produced about twice the corrected larval mortality of ground-water mixtures.
- Observation Proklame, Tracer, Pinny and Roxy were the most effective materials against potato tuber worm larvae.
- Mechanism The authors attributed reduced efficacy with ground water to its lower surface tension.
- Recommendation The authors recommend Nile water for mixtures with the tested insecticides.
