Abstract

Carbofuran, oxydemeton-methyl, and acephate were field tested in Ecuador for control of the neotropical walnut shootborer, Gretchena garai. Carbofuran and oxydemeton-methyl successfully controlled the tortricid for at least a month. Accordingly, in Ecuadorian agroforestry programs, is possible that these two successful insecticides could become part of a remedial control effort within an integrated pest management (IPM) system.
