Quality control has since been improved, in so far as each batch is now tested in a biotest on aphids before dispatch. Parallel to its normal use in the field, the effect of Quassan was also field tested in 2001 against apple sawflies. Quassan was tested in different concentrations per hectare and the effect compared with an untreated control as well as with plots treated with a self-cooked Quassiawood extract. All the methods showed an efficacy of 80% or more as compared with the control. Differences due to concentration per hectare used were only minimal. date: 2004 date_type: published publisher: Fördergemeinschaft Ökologischer Obstbau e.V pagerange: 22-27 refereed: never citation: Häseli, Andreas and Zingg, Daniel (2004) Wirkung des Quassiapräparates "Quassan" gegen die Sägewespe.
