Abstract
In field trials in 1961, aerial applications of parathion, toxaphene and a combination of the 2 applied to sorghum at mid-flowering resulted in increased grain yield, the combination of 0.25 lb parathion + 1.3 lb toxaphene/ac giving the best control of Contarinia sorghicola and the highest yields. Significant midge damage did not occur in plants flowering before mid-August
