- Intervention effect Only Sumithion and fenthion among 22 new insecticides gave higher larval mortality than diazinon.
- Intervention effect Fenthion gave higher larval mortality than diazinon.
- Intervention effect Parathion gave somewhat higher mortality than methyl-parathion.
- Intervention effect Additional wetting agents increased the efficiency of commercial formulations.
- Association Leucoptera caffeina was apparently more susceptible to the tested insecticides than L. meyricki.
- Mechanism The authors attribute greater insecticide susceptibility of L. caffeina to its faster feeding.
