Gypsy Mott and Fire Ant Are Stndy Subjects
New or better ways to control
gypsy moths and imported fire
ants will be studied under
research agreements between
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and four universities.
The agreements, funded by
USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service, will provide needed data
for use in a broad, continuing
program to improve the
eficiency of pest control methods
and to protect the environment.
The agreements signdd in
clude:
A $30,000, one and one-half-year
cooperative agreement with the
Arkansas Agricultural Ex
periment Station, Fayetteville, to
determine the extent and rapidity
of the spread of the imported fire

Two cooperative agreements,
totaling $120,000, with the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station,
college Station, for three-year
studies to determine the potential
usefulness of hormones as control
agents of the imported fire ant,
and the acceptance of various
bait materials by foraging
worker ants and of compounds
that ant larvae and queens may
prefer to feed on in their nests. In
addition, scientists will deter
mine remote sensing techniques
to survey large areas for im
ported fire ant infestations,
including differentiating between
mounds formed by imported fire
ants and those of other ant
species.
