Petroleum oils are widely used in the treatment of citrus crops in California. They have proved to be the most efficient insecticide per unit of cost for most of the dominant pests of citrus in this area. In an effort to improve oil sprays from the standpoint of both tree safety and insecticidal effectiveness, the research on oil sprays at the University of California Citrus Experiment Station has been intensified. Part of this new effort has involved close cooperation with other laboratories, particularly with the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva. The same petroleum fractions and other hydrocarbon compositions were tested simultaneously against citrus and deciduous fruit pests. This coordinated approach has been mutually advantageous, and it is expected that it will lead to an understanding of the fundamental principles involved in the use of hydrocarbon oils as insecticides in general.
