Abstract
Thirty-eight carbamates have been screened as systemic repellents to the boll weevil on seedling cotton plants. Of 15 compounds released for publication, 6 exhibited systemic repellent properties. Compared with Bayer 39007 (o-isopropoxyphenyl methylcarbamate) used as a standard, 3 of these 6 compounds were more repellent than toxic and 3 were more toxic than repellent. Because of the lack of correlation between the repellent and toxic actions of these 6 compounds, it is believed that the mode of action which induces toxicity is independent of that which induces repellency.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
