Abstract

N,N′-Hexamethylene bisaziridinyl carboxamide and apholate interfered with the growth of Anatis mali Auct. and prevented it from reaching the adult stage. Coleomegilla maculata lengi Timberlake was unable to grow with hexamethylene bisaziridinyl carboxamide in the drinking water but was able to tolerate a 0.01% solution of apholate.
