State agricultural experiment stations

Excellent cooperation has been received from the United States Department of Agriculture and state agricultural experiment stations in carrying out field tests with this material. Without such cooperation this important economic poison would not be in general tise at this time.

Two series of petroleum fractions and a series of synthetic isoparaffins prepared by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station are described briefly. Their insecticidal efficiency on three unrelated pests—oriental fruit moth, European red mite, and cottony peach scale— is reported. 

The relation of the constitution of saturated petroleum fractions to their insecticidal efficiency was shown in the case of a single insect species in a previous paper (9). To extend this study the Citrus Experiment Station of the University of California, the Shell Oil Co., and the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station cooperated to include other species and to examine the insecticidal properties of various hydrocarbon compositions derived directly or indirectly from petroleum as well as synthetic hydrocarbons of known constitution. Part of the program planned for the New York Station consisted of ... 

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. 

The two series of narrow-boiling petroleum fractions used in these studies were derived from two water-white oils, one of naphthenic character and the other highly paraffinic in nature. These fractions were prepared in the laboratories of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station and supplied to the writers for evaluation against citrus... 

Received November 9, 1965. Approved by the Director of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y., as Journal Paper No. 1450, July 29, 1965. Work supported in part by a research grant (EF-00490) from the National Institutes of Health, Division of Environmental Engineering and Food Protection, and in part by a research contract (AT(30-l)-3774) from the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Division of Biology and Medicine [Publication AT(30-l)-3774-4]. 

This next segment pertains to the subject facility, the Analytical Laboratories, housed in the Food Science Department, College of Life Sciences, a statutory unit of Cornell University and the State University of New York. It is located at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, NY. Twenty-two chemists, plus support personnel, are engaged in a variety of research, regulatory and contract endeavors, including ...
