Pesticidal dusts (May 3), aerosols (May 4), or ULV fogs (May 5) were tested as space fumigants against selected greenhouse pests held either on host plants or in insect rearing media in 1100-ft sealed trailers. Doors were opened 10 min after the pesticide was released, and insects were removed from the trailers after 30 min. Temperature during the test ranged from 22° to 32° C. Dusts were preweighed and introduced from outside through the rear door; aerosols and EC’s were released by an applicator from within the trailer. Dusts were formulated in HiSil 233 and propelled by CO2; aerosols were formulated with Freon or water plus propane/isobutane. EC’s were commercial formulations and were applied with a Micro-Gen sprayer.
