Abundant conidial and sclerotial production occurs on iris
plants infected with Botrytis convoluta Whetzel and Drayton during
the cool moist months of the year. Experiments were designed to
study the survival and inoculum potential of conidia and sclerotia.
Basic nutritional requirements of the fungus in culture were also
studied.

Ruelene was orally administered to three female sheep at a
dosage rate of 121.5 mg /kg. The cholinesterase (ChE) activity levels
of blood plasma, red blood cells (RBC), and mosquitoes (Aedes
aegypti) which had fed on the sheep were tested at various times
