Abstract:
6-chloro-3,4-xylyl methylcarbamate insecticide was tested
under .the code U-12,927, tradename Banol, against Galleria
mellonella L. larvae 0 outstanding insecticidal activity
has been demonstrated in field control of several cotton
insects, some mite species, and several beetle, mosquito,
XlO
and l~pedopterous larvae species. There was no lethal
activity recorded against wax moth larvae (Galleria mellonella
L.) in both topical and injected treatment with Banol up
to the dosage of 730 ug. Banal / gm. larva}, although
total cholinesterase (ehE) in~ibition was reported with
dosage as low as 7.3 ug. Banol/ gm. larva~. Metabolic
studies suggested that Banol was metabolized into less
toxic products by the wax moth larvae. Slight lethal activity
of Banol + synergist was noted in the injected treatment.
