Abstract
The discovery of a highly toxic metabolite of BIDRIN® 3-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-cis-croton-amide dimethyl phosphate) in house flies, Musca domestica L., led to the synthesis of SD 9129 (3-hydroxy-N-methylcrotonamide dimethyl phosphate). Subsequent laboratory tests showed that SD 9129 is highly toxic to many insect pests, especially lepidopterous larvae. It is a relatively nonvolatile, persistent systemic insecticide. In preliminary field tests, SD 9129 appeared very promising for control of many agricultural insect pests, including the bollworm and the boll weevil on cotton.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
