Extract

In 1982, the synthetic pyrethroid, cypermethrin, was among the insecticides recommended as a spray for control of adult flea beetles attacking canola crops in Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan Agriculture 1982). Growers reported some problems with its effectiveness at the recommended rates of 14–20 g AI/ha, however, and the recommendation for its use against flea beetles was subsequently discontinued. Laboratory spray trials were begun in 1982 to determine if post-treatment temperature affected the contact toxicity of cypermethrin to adults of the major pest species, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and if the dosage that had been recommended was adequate as a contact spray.
