Description: The aerial application of baited malathion (2.4 fl oz 91% malathion, with 9.6 fl oz Staleys protein bait per acre) was utilized in the Mediterranean FruitFly eradication program in the Santa Clara Valley of California in 1981. Approximately 250 square miles of essentially urban area was included in an intensive environmental monitoring project which was conducted over a six week period beginning July 14, 1981 and ending August 30, 1981. The objective of this project was to quantitatively characterize a sequence of six weekly aerial sprays on the environment.

Description: Executive summary of the report, "Environmental Monitoring Results of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Eradication Program, Ventura County, 1994-95." The Department of Pesticide Regulation's (DPR) Environmental Hazards Assessment Program (EHAP) conducted environmental monitoring of aerial applications of a mixture of malathion (Malathion ULV®, Clean Crop) and protein bait (added to attract the flies to the pesticide; Nu-lure®, Miller Chemical & Fertilizer Corporation) in Ventura County from October 1994 through May 1995. These applications were part of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) eradication program conducted by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). DPR conducted the monitoring to provide information about the amount of malathion and malaoxon (a breakdown product of malathion) reaching the ground, and the concentrations of these chemicals in air, surface water, and rain runoff.
