Studies on the Effect of Trans Isomer of 2-Chloro-1- (2, 4, 5-trichlorophenyl) Vinyl Dimethyl against Insects Injurious to Foods and Food Products

Abstract

The new insecticide, trans isomer of 2-chloro-1- (2, 4, 5-trichlorophenyl) vinyl dimethyl shows very remarkable effect against the most popular food injurious insects, Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Lasioderma serricorne and Tribolium confusum, when used in one litter per one square meter of 2.5% solution.
From these results the author supposes that this insecticide would be used as precautionary measures for foods and food products against many species of insects.
