New pesticides for 1970.

Authors: ANON

Abstract: The status of various pesticides is reviewed. Fungicides receiving new approved labels are: Busan 72 (Buckman Laboratories); Cosanit, Oxy Cop 8L, Oxy Peanut Special and Supercosan (Occidental); Dikar (Rohm and Haas); and Topsin-M 70% WP (Nippon). New approved labels for herbicides include: Amilon (Amchem); Basfapon (BASF-Wyandotte); Betanol (Nor-Am); Oxycil (Occidental); Stam LV-10 (Rohm and Haas); and Sumitol 80W (Geigy). New approved labels for insecticides include: Bux 2 Emulsive (Chevron); De-Fend (Thompson-Hayward); DO48 (Uniroyal); Fundal (Nor-Am); Phosvit (Nippon); Pyracide Growers Spray (McLaughlin Gormley King); and Sevin 4 Oil (Union Carbide). New compounds with registration pending are: Pennwalt's dessicant Accelerate; the fungicide Thynon (Thompson-Hayward); the herbicides Kerb 50W (Rohm and Haas) and Nopalmate (Pennwalt); the insecticides Carzol SP (Nor-Am), Mixtrol (Thompson-Hayward) and Supracide (Geigy). Those new compounds with experimental labels only are: the herbicides Bladex 80WP (Shell); Dynoram (Amchem), Furloe 3EC and Potassium Azide 10 G (both PPG); VCS-438 (Velsicol); and the insecticides Phosvel (Velsicol) and Plictran (Dow). Uses for a number of compounds on the market have been expanded with approval of their expansion is pending or experimental; these are tabulated. 1971

Abstract: Studies were conducted to determine how herbicides applied at various rates and by various methods, other than dusting, might affect honey bees. Some herbicides appeared relatively nontoxic. Others, such as picloram, may be beneficial. Herbicides which were highly toxic when fed or sprayed on colonies were paraquat, MAA, MSMA, DSMA, hexaflurate, and cacodylic acid. Diesel oil and a phytobland oil, used as carriers, were toxic the first day they were sprayed on bees. Although the phenoxy herbicides (2,4,-D, 2,4,5-T, silvex, etc.) were relatively non-toxic to adults, they stopped brood rearing and prevented eggs from hatching when high concentrations were fed to colonies in sugar syrup or water. Soon after this feeding was stopped, the colonies returned to normal. Surfactants drowned large numbers of bees for as long as six months after they were placed in a water supply. Residues of 2,4,5-T were found in honey bees, honey, and wax in small and perhaps unimportant amounts for more than one year. Aerial spraying of 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, and a cotton desiccant did not cause any noticeable loss of honey bees when colonies were located in the sprayed area. The results of this study indicate that some factors which influence the losses of honey bees include the rate of application, the herbicide used, the method and time of application, the sources of water available, the plants to which the herbicide is applied, and the location of nectar, pollen, and water sources for the bees. It is concluded that the greatest danger lies in the use of oils high concentrations of DSMA, MSMA, paraquat, and similar chemicals which are employed to kill all vegetation to which they are applied. This is done frequently to control plants along and in irrigation ditches, and along rights-of-way for railroads and highways.
