New Formulation of D.D.T with Selective Properties
Abstract
IN order to produce insecticides which would be toxic only to certain groups of insects and not to others, it seemed a promising line of approach to make use of the known differences in the digestive capability of different insects. If individual particles of toxic compounds could be coated with substances digestible only by certain insects, then obviously only those insects would be killed by such coated insecticides.
