Abstract
From 1955 to 1957 a total of 54 acres were established in field plots to evaluate compounds for the control of Scutigerella immaculata Newport. Productive results were obtained in approximately 10% of the plots. Interpretation of results was complicated in the remainder of the plots by the irregular distribution pattern, non-feeding phases, and preferential feeding habits of the pest. Although it failed to give control in some trials, parathion used as a soil treatment at the rate of 5 pounds of active ingredient per acre consistently gave better results than any other insecticides tested.
