Abstract
The authors report on laboratory tests of the chemical properties and molluscicidal activity of the compounds Bayer 73 (70% wettable powder) and ICI 24223 (acid salt and emulsion), and describe the method used for the determination of ICI 24223.It is suggested that field applications of the ICI 24223 acid salt and of Bayer 73 should produce similar results in running and stagnant soft water. Bayer 73 showed a diminution of molluscicidal activity in hard water.
