Extract

Experiments were carried out during 1945 and 1946 to determine the effect of insecticides, particularly DDT and BHC, on certain species of Syrphids and Coccinellids. In addition, some preliminary data was obtained on toxicity to parasitic Hymenoptera and a predatory Cecidomyiid species.

In some experiments other insecticides were used for comparative purposes and where possible data were obtained on the effect of the insecticide not only on the predator but also on the host and the host-predator relationship.
