Abstract
During the season of 1927, the possibility of leaf miner (Monarthropalpus buxi) control by means of immersion in hot water was investigated. Spring treatments at exposures fatal to the larvae injured the buds but the plants recovered fully by mid-summer, due to adventitious growths. Later treatments after the spring growths had hardened gave satisfactory kill of the larvae without injury to the plants. With a lowering of the temperature of the water the period of immersion must be lengthened. The increasing susceptibility of the larvae as they increased in size with the advance of the season was very marked.
