Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling termites. The invention provides a tamper resistant bait station, which uses a cellulose bait impregnated with a slow acting toxicant and readily allows entry of termite.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting and controlling termites. The invention uses a tubular body with a triangular cross section to hold a cellulose bait impregnated with a slow acting toxicant. The tubular body is placed partly in the ground so that the length of the tubular body is along the surface of the ground. The top of the tubular body is transparent so that one can easily view the bait through the top of the tubular body.

Abstract: This invention describes a method for preparing benzyluracils using methyl benzylcarbamates as intermediates. The method comprises the steps of contacting an alkali metal salt of an ester of 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoic acid with a methyl benzylcarbamate I to provide a benzyluracil II. ##STR1## where R, W, V, X and Y are as described in the specification.

Abstract: Novel herbicidal compounds, compositions containing them, and methods for their preparation and use in controlling weeds are disclosed. The novel herbicidal compounds are 3-(pyrazolylphenyl)propanoic acids and derivatives having the formula: wherein X is H or halogen; Y is halogen, trihaloalkyl or cyano; Z and R are halogen; R1 is carboxyl or agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, cyano, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylthiocarbonyl, alkoxyalkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, or alkylsulfonylaminocarbonyl; and R2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.

Abstract: Compounds of the following structure are disclosed as effective insecticides: in which: A and B are independently lower alkyl; U is lower alkylidene, lower alkenylidene, or CH—Z, where Z is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower cycloalkyl, or phenyl; R is phenyl or a dibenzocyclo(C5-8)alkyl, each optionally substituted, or where R3 and R4 are independently selected from phenyl, optionally substituted with, halogen, lower alkyl, lower haloalkyl, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkoxy, lower alkenyl, or phenyl; R1 is selected from a variety of substituents, including 3-R2, where R2 is where D, E, and G are hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen, cyano, hydroxy, lower alkyl, lower haloalkyl, lower alkoxy, nitro, lower haloalkylsuffonyloxy, lower alkylcarboxylato, lower alkylcarbonylamino, lower alkylcarbonyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl, arylcarbonylamino; D and E taken together may form the group —O(CH2)O—; J is hydrogen or lower alkyl; m is 2 or 3, n is 1, 2, or 3; and halog

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for controlling the weeds Papever, Matricharia, Viola, and/or Polygonum in cereal crops comprising the step of applying to the locus where the weed control is desired a herbicidal formulation comprised of a benzyluracil having the formula ##STR1## where V is chlorine; W is chlorine or methoxy; X is hydrogen; Y is chlorine or methoxy; and R is methyl or amino. Preferred benzyluracils are those where R is methyl.

Abstract: Compounds for control of insects and arcarids are disclosed and exemplified which are N-(arylalkyl)-4-[bis(substituted aryl)hydroxymethyl]azabicyclo[3.3. 1 .]nonanes and [3.2.1.]octanes, including N-oxides thereof, N-(substituted-oxy) derivatives thereof, and agriculturally acceptable salts thereof, having the formula: ##STR1## Certain novel intermediates for these pesticidal compounds are also disclosed.

Abstract: It has now been found that certain novel (oxaalkyl)phenyl-substituted heterocycles are useful as pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. These compounds are represented by formula I: ##STR1## where Q is a heterocycle and X, Y, R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are substituents as described in the specification. Preferred are those compounds where Y and R are chloro; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen or methyl; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or alkylaminocarbonyl; X is fluorine; and Q is a 1-substituted-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedion-3-yl.
