The Effect of Medium on the Toxicity of DDT to Aphids
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
It is shown that the insecticidal value to Macrosiphum solanifolii of DDT depends upon the medium in which it is incorporated. It is more toxic (4–6 times) when dispersed as an emulsion dissolved in a water-insoluble solvent (benzene) than when dissolved in a water-soluble solvent (acetone-carbitol) and dispersed as a suspensoid.
