Abstract
IN Nature of June 8, Messrs. Golightly and Hogg refer to our statement in an earlier issue that wireworm populations had been reduced by as much as 65 per cent following the application of ‘Gammexane’. In view of a misconception that has evidently arisen, we would state that this 65 per cent measured the difference between the populations of treated and untreated plots when sampled at the same time, and had no connexion with the well-known natural fall in population that occurs after ploughing out.
