Abstract
FROM the beginning of the War a considerable programme of work on the control of wireworm by chemical means was prosecuted by these laboratories. Following the discovery of the insecticidal properties of the gamma isomer of 1.2.3.4.5.6-hexachlorocyclohexane ('Gammexane') in 19421, it seemed likely that the new agent might control wireworm attack.
