SU.JICT aroclor use to increase the
INSECTICIDAL LIFE OF LINDANE
The attached reoent publication again points out the marked Influence of Aroclor 5^60 to enhanoe the insecti cidal value of Lindane.
While your customers in this field probably have the Journal of Economic Entomology, we have ordered sufficient reprints so that you can pass copies along for your customer's convenience.
It costs a good deal to Bpray trees, shrubs, etc,, and the effective life of the insecticides may not be more than a few weeks. If it rains, most ordinary sprays are waBhed away.
The attaohed article indicates what Aroclor does frit, improve this, and you can see that its use with Lindane offers considerable economic advantage.
Technically, it is believed that Aroclor may do the same thing when used with other chlorinated insecticides where mutual Bolublllty prevails; in fact, the function of Aroclor resin as a "stlckar" seems worthy of inves tigation for every insecticide.
