“…Similar results were also reported from North America (Merrill, 1952). Aldrin remained the standard treatment for wireworms on potato in the U.K. until 1989, despite widespread concerns over the environmental impact of persistent organochlorine compounds, and the introduction of phorate, which had also been shown to suppress wireworm damage (Caldicott & Isherwood, 1967).…”

“…The comparable effect of gamma-BHC and aldrin confirms the work of Merrill (1952). The relatively poor results of either insecticide against high wireworm populations may possibly be due to inadequate mixing of the insecticide with the soil.…”

“…Chlordane, although not as effective as aldrin or BHC, gave good control in these experiments but, judging from the literature, it may not give quite such consistent results as aldrin or BHC, since a number of workers have reported it unsatisfactory under the conditions of their experiments (Post, Munro & Knapp, 1947;Dogger & Lilly, 1949;Lange, Carlson & Leach, 1949;Kulash & Monroe, 1954;Begg, 1954;Griffin & Eden, 1954;Kulash & Monroe, 1955). There is also the possibility of chlordane producing off-flavours (Greenwood & Tice, 1949;Merrill, 1952), although this may not be great.…”
