Abstract
Experiments conducted in cabinets in the greenhouse during the winter of 1945 showed that temperature had a marked effect on the toxicity of DDT to larvae of the diamondback moth. Plutella maculipennis (Curt.), and the greenhouse leaf tier, Phlyctaenia rubigalis (Guen.), the mortality decreasing as the temperature increased within the range of the tests. The optimum temperature for maximum kill has not yet been determined because it was not possible to run tests at all desired temperatures with the equipment available.
