Abstract
A CONCISE report on many of the newer insecticides has been prepared by a committee of the Mushroom Growers’ Association, Yaxley, Peterborough (12 pp., 2s. 6d. net April 1949). D.D.T., ‘Gammexane', azo-benzene hexaethyltetraphosphate and tetraethyl-pyrophosphate are described in some detail, and parathion (E 605), velsicol 1068, Dynone II and pipeline are also mentioned. Methods of application are discussed. The report is in the nature of a grower's guide, and more experimental work must be done before any overall recommendation can be made.
