Effects of the antitranspirant Dow Corning<sup>R</sup>XEF-4-3561 on arthropods on a North Idaho catchment
Abstract
The effects of an antitranspirant material, Dow Corning<sup>R</sup>XEF-4-3561, applied aerially on arthropods in 1974 were examined. The only detectable difference (P > .05) noted was of short duration (<120 h) in the lower 10% of the treated watershed which received an excessive application. Only sheets placed in the open had significant arthropod
collections.
