“…Codling moth resistance to pesticides is well documented and began a long time ago with arsenate and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) . It now affects almost every class of synthetic insecticides and is spread throughout the world's apple production regions .…”

“…The history of growers' management of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), a key pest of apple, Malus domestica Borkhausen, pear, Pyrus communis L., and walnut, Juglans regia L., can be characterized as a series of distinct eras, each defined by the development of new management tools followed by their loss of efficacy 1. Codling moth developed resistance to lead arsenate in the 1920s2 and to DDT in the 1950s 3. Beginning in the mid‐1950s, the use of organophosphate insecticides, in particular azinphos‐methyl, became the most common approach to managing codling moth,1 and resistance took more than 30 years to develop 4.…”

“…Commercial agriculture has not occurred on those lands since, so it has been almost 60 years since the last likely DDT application, making the maximum duration of applications 15 years, based on the rst availability of DDT in the U.S. around 1946. In the U.S., DDT use on orchards was common especially to control codling moth (Glass andFiori 1955, Marshall 1959). Today, remnants of the orchard operation include two dump sites and a barn site.…”

The p,p’ isomers of DDT, DDE, and DDD were analyzed in soils, sediments, and crayfish in the Squam Lake watershed in central New Hampshire (NH), U.S.A. Bennett Brook sources elevated levels of DDT residues to Squam Lake through sediment transport, likely due to legacy contamination from applications to an apple orchard surrounding the stream in the mid 1900s. Results reveal a point source located at a barn used during the orchard operation, which was burned down around 1967, with up to 723 µg/kg p,p’ DDT and 721 µg/kg p,p’ DDE in the soils. Higher DDT than DDE in soil samples, but not in sediment samples, suggests persistence of the contaminant in watershed soils, and faster degradation once mobilized into Bennett Brook and Squam Lake. DDT residues in the lake sediments from 1951 to the present, reveal DDT has consistently been entering Squam Lake since usage began in the U.S. There are likely multiple sources that have contributed to the constant supply, including the orchard soils treated with DDT serving as a nonpoint source, the barn site, and DDT-laden soils vulnerable to erosion, including stream banks and logged or steeply sloped land. Detections of residues in the stream and lake sediments exceed certain sediment quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic life. Higher p,p’ DDE levels in crayfish collected in the mouth of Bennett Brook versus crayfish collected in Squam Lake, distant from Bennett Brook, suggests that residues sourcing from this sub-watershed are entering the aquatic food chain at levels higher than other parts of the lake.
