Popis: Laboratory studies conducted during 1965 and 1966 using the topical-application technique demonstrated resistance to aldrin in the rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophius Kuschel, in Louisiana. High levels (100- to two-fold) of resistance were found in weevils from Alsatia, Crowley, and Ville Platte. Intermediate levels (5- to 10-fold) of resistance in weevils were shown to be widespread over the major rice-producing area of Louisiana The more susceptible weevils were found principally around the fringes of the major rice area. The aldrin-resistant rice water weevils from Alsatia and Crowley also appeared to be resistant to endrin but not to methyl parathion and Nia 10242 (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate).
