Extract

In 1944, as soon as DDT became available, laboratory investigation of its possibilities for control of codling moth, Carpocapsa pomonella (L.) was started at Vineland Station. The work was later expanded and the methods improved until the present technique was evolved; this is still unsatisfactory in many respects but is presented to indicate what may be accomplished in a small laboratory with very limited personnel and equipment and at comparatively little cost.
