Monitoring the Pesticide Treatments of the Japanese Beetle Project, Sacramento County, California, 1983-1986. Volume 3. Diazinon

摘要

The Japanese beetle has the potential of being a serious agricultural pest if it becomes established in California. The Sacramento County Agriculture Department and the California Department of Food and Agriculture conducted a program to eradicate an infestation found in the Orangevale area. The program was initiated during the summer of 1983 and continued through the spring of 1986. The eradication program included six treatments of diazinon between 1983 and 1986. Monitoring was conducted by the Environmental Hazards Assessment Program to determine the environmental distribution and fate of diazinon in turf/thatch, soil, air, fruit, and water.
