Abstract
Eli Lilly EL-468, a phenylenediamine, possesses the delayed-toxicity necessary for a bait toxicant to control colonies of the red imported fire ant, S. invicta Buren. In laboratory tests, it gave delayed action over more than a 10-fold range of concentrations; in field tests, baits formulated on pregel defatted corn grits and applied at 20 and 40 g AI[active ingredient]/ha produced as high as 86 and 91% control.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
