Abstract

The efficiency of several insecticides for the control of the banana borer were tested in two kinds of traps. The cloride insecticides are most widely used but they are probably repellent to the weevil. DDT, Aldrin, Diazinon and Parathion were compared in two kinds of traps: slices of rhizome and pieces of pseudostem. The best results were obtained with Parathion in rhizome slices.
