Abstract

A spray rig with easily constructed booms to convey the hoses over fences can be used in the practical application of residual fly control chemicals to feedlots. Diazinon is the most effective and economical of the several materials tested in the Imperial Valley, where no significant resistance to the chemical has been observed thus far.
