This Note describes the use of two formulations of lindance, Gamma-Col (ICI) and Lindane Flowable (PBI), as pre-planting treatments to provide protection of young planting stock - either bare-rooted or raised in Japanese paperpots - against Hylobius abietis and Hylastes spp. which are frequently destructive on felled conifer sites. It takes the form of an "Applicatin Leaflet", which has been approved by the Pesticides Safety Division of MAFF as a mandatory adjunct to the formal Approval given for the described uses under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986. The need for specified protective clothing and detailed attention to safety procedures is emphasised throughout. The Approval to which this publiction refers expires on 31 December 1989.
