Description An oil in water emulsion containing Lindane and DDT, with a high
degree of persistence and insecticidal effectiveness, has been standardized
for spray treating empty gunny bags to render them
insect-proof. The technique developed for large scale insect_proofing
of gunny bags and other fabrics is described. Both new and old
gunny bags can be made insect_proof for storage of food grains free
from insect infestation under rural and urban conditions. The
cost of treatment works out to about 9 nP. per gunny bag.
