Laboratory experiments with a new group of organophosphorus insecticides on some agricultural insects
Journal of Economic Entomology 59 (1), 196-201
Abstract: Laboratory tests of phenyl- and 2-thienyl-substituted phosphinates and phosphonates, analogs to dichlorvos, trichlorfon, and naled, against agricultural insects are reported. The insects used included Locusta migratoria migratorioides. In general the parent compounds were more effective than the analogs tested. Compounds containing straight chain alkoxy substituents were more active on topical application than compounds containing branched chain alkoxy groups. Dichlorvos, naled, some of their analogs, and trichlorfon were effective within one to a few hours after treatment.
