Play all audios:

ABSTRACT MOST laboratory methods for evaluating residual insecticides involve crowding a number of flies together in rather small containers. Such crowding stimulates activity, which may


cause the flies to pick up abnormal amounts of insecticide. These conditions are unnatural, and while useful and reproducible results may be obtained, their relevance to field performance is


doubtful. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to
