The amount of slurry banded on the trunk was based on the trunk diameter of test plants. Evaluation of the treatments was made by periodic counts of aphid populations. Treatments showed four weeks control of aphid populations after apparent absorption through the bark. No phytotoxicity was observed as a result of any treatments. ER -
