Insecticides in Agriculture

Abstract

There is general agreement that destructive insects cause tremendous losses; the figure currently used is $4,000,000,000 for an average year. Insect control presents many problems, the simplest of which is the correct concentration and rate of application. For development of insecticides cooperation of chemists, entomologists, and toxicologists is essential.
