The Future of Pyrethroids in Insect Control
Annual Review of Entomology, 1978 The more stable synthetic pyrethroids, the main subject of this review, are based on the earlier natural and synthetic pyrethroids, but differ so markedly from them in properties and activity as to constitute a new class of insecticides. The value of residual films of contact insecticides was fi rst demonstrated in 1935 (114) by the successful control ...
