Nine insecticides were tested for their effectiveness on citrus mealy-bug infesting areca palms in 6 inch pots on raised benches in a greenhouse. Insecticides were applied as foliar sprays (except for Temik granules) to the point of runoff utilizing a hand sprayer at 60 psi with a 5002 nozzle. Five single plant replicates were treated on July 10, 1978. Greenhouse temperature was ca 30°C. Counts were taken on July 7 and at 7-day intervals following treatment. Efficacy was evaluated by marking 3 leaflets on each plant and recording the number of live mealybugs on each leaflet weekly.
