This Note describes the use of two formulations of permethrin, "Permit" (PBI) and "Permasect 25 EC" (Mitchell Cotts) as post-planting treatments to protect young trees in the forest against Hylobius abietis and Hylastes species which are frequently destructive on felled conifer sites. It takes the form of an "Application Leaflet" and incorporates the conditions of formal "off-label" Approvals for the described uses given by the Pesticides Safety Division of MAFF under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986. The Approvals to which this Note refers expire on 10 August 1991. Alternative insecticidal treatments against Hylobius abietis and Hylastes are discussed.
