AbstractLarvae of the lesser date moth (Batrachedra amydraula Meyr.) cause damage to dates in Iraq. A formulation based on a mixture of equal parts of wheat flour and pollen grains and containing either chlorpyrifos, fenitrothion or pirimiphos‐methyl (all at 5 mg kg−l) was dusted (5 g formulation bunch−1) onto female clusters of dates at the time of pollination. Numbers of larvae, yield of dates and insecticide residues were monitored over a three‐month period. Results showed that, by this technique, all three insecticides were effective in controlling the pest but that fenitrothion and chlorpyrifos were better than pirimiphos
