Insecticide control of Salina celebensis Shaffer (Collembolla: Entomobryidae), a minor pest of cacao in Papua New Guinea
Lindane, dieldrin, chlordane, carbaryl, dicrotophos, fenthion, formothion, parathion, trichlorphon and superior white oil were tested against Salina celebensis Shaffer a minor pest of young cocoa in Papua New Guinea. Lindane and parathion at 0.1 per cent a.i. were the best treatments. The addition of superior white oil 0.1 per cent to insecticide mixtures enhanced the effectiveness of treatment. Carbaryl 0.1 per cent a.i. plus superior white oil 1.0 per cent and carbaryl 0.7 per cent a.i. plus superior white oil 1.0 per cent maintained plants substantially free of S. celebensis for 10 and 22 days respectively. There was no evidence of phytotoxicity in any of the treatments.
