USING A HELICOPTER FOR DUSTING FOREST SOURCES OF TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS

Abstract

The MI 1 HX helicopter was tested for spray dusting with a 10 percent DDT dust in tick borne encephalitis foci. During the period of spraying the flight speed of the craft was kept within limits of 30 to 35 km per hours. The improved precipitation of the chemical poison permitted it to reduce its consumption rate down to 20 kg per hectare, as compared with that (50 kg per hectare) accepted for the plane AH 2. The treatment remained highly effective. In addition to considerable savings of the poisonous material the reduction of consumption rates brought with it a substantial improvement of the present economic indices. This warrants recommending the new mode of the treatment for a wide scale field application in the foci of tick borne encephalitis.
