Abstract: Excerpts from the report: There is a great need for more effective, safer, and less costly insecticides for protecting food, feed, seed, and other agricultural commodities against insect infestation. The Stored-Product Insects Branch of the Agricultural Marketing Service conducts a program of basic evaluation of insecticides at the Stored-Product Insects Laboratory, Savannah, Ga. The primary function of this program is to determine the comparative effectiveness of new compounds on representative species of stored-product insects. Twenty-two compounds were tested and evaluated to determine their direct-contact, residue, and vapor toxicity to flour beetle adults, Tribolium spp., and black carpet beetle larvae, Attagenus piceus (Oliv.).
