Abstract
The initial screening results of a new approach to the chemical control of insects are reported. Three types of chemicals were introduced into CSMA house fly larval medium. They were: metotic poisons, antimetabolites, and those that showed previous biological activity. Effectiveness was determined by the ability of each of 26 chemicals to impair house fly development.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
