Abstract

Trials were carried out in Upper Volta to assess equipment for the application of insecticides as aerosol from helicopters for the control of riverine tsetse flies (G. tachinoides). Flying techniques were developed to direct aerosols in the downwash of the helicopter to tsetse breeding sites close to the water's edge. Good penetration of droplets below the riverine canopy was achieved during the late afternoon and early morning when weather conditions were very stable.
