Abstract

AbstractA survey of 2000 farms in south‐west Scotland revealed that 3.5% of the cereal area had been treated with pesticides for the control of leatherjackets (Tipula spp.) in 1975. A small area of recently established grass and some turnip fields were also treated. DDT and gamma‐HCH were the most commonly used compounds with an estimated use respectively of 1863 and 376 kg of active ingredient. Pesticide usage in 1975 appeared to have been consistent with the generally low leatherjacket population in that year.
