title: Efficacy of fenoxycarb (Pictyl) against Psorophora columbiae in Arkansas ricefields.
abstract: The IGR, fenoxycarb was effective against mosquitoes in both small rice plots and commercial ricefields in southeast Arkansas at the rate of 10 g AI/ha. It adequately controlled Psorophora columbiae populations. This compound shows excellent promise as a tool in effective IPM schemes against Ps. columbiae larvae in Arkansas rice fields by acting as a direct control, and possibly by indirectly increasing their vulnerability to natural controls.
