Abstract
Abstract Aerial applications of naled at various ULV rates were made over tree and shrub lined banks of the Platte River. Both times of season and volume of material applied were altered in an effort to obtain the most benefit in terms of application after most of the tabanids and mosquitoes had emerged and the best rate of application on river bank vegetation. Flights were made at temperatures above 80°F and when wind velocity was>10 MPH and at a 40 ft altitude. Insect counts were made with the use of bionculars and were made on one side of an animal only. Species identification was determined by net sweeping tame animals. Aedesvexans comprised 99% of the daytime mosquito population and the tabanid Tabanuslineola population was comprised of 91%, Chyrsopsdiscolis 5% and T.atratus 4%.
