Abstract: Plastic films containing pesticides and useful as coverings for agricultural cultivations which also effectively protect the cultivations from both vegetable and animal pests (parasites) are disclosed, as are methods for obtaining and using the coverings.

Abstract: Compounds are disclosed which have a juvenile hormone action on insects and also exhibit acaricide action. Said compounds are unsaturated aliphatic compounds having a trichloromethyl end group and the other end group of which is a phenol group which may be substituted and/or condensed, and which are capable of hindering the growth of insects from the larval to the adult stage and also exhibit an acaricide action on both adult acari and their eggs.

Abstract: A new class of alkyl-aryl diethers having juvenile hormone activity (hereinafter designated JHA) and capable of retarding the metamorphosis of pupae or larvae into adult insects is disclosed. The new alkyl-aryl diethers are characterized in that one of the end groups is a phenyl group and the other end group is a halogenated group.

Abstract: New compounds are disclosed which have a juvenile hormone action on insects and also exhibit acaricide action. More particularly, said new compounds are unsaturated aliphatic compounds having a trichloromethyl end group and the other end group of which is a phenol group which may be substituted and/or condensed, and which are capable of hindering the growth of insects from the larval to the adult stage and also exhibit an acaricide action on both adult acari and their eggs.Processes for the production of the new compounds of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: There are disclosed ethers and thioethers having a benzyl or phenyl terminal group and another terminal group which is halogenated, and which ethers and thioethers exhibit juvenile hormone activity (i.e., function as inhibitors of the development of insects from their larval state to the adult state), as well as acaricide activity.Methods for preparing the ethers and thioethers are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to carbamates of N-polychloroallyl-substituted amino-phenols, which are useful as insecticides. More particularly, this invention concerns a new class of carbamates of N-polychloroallyl-substituted amino-phenols, methods for their preparation and methods for their use in combatting moxious insects.

Abstract: The present invention concerns N-polychloroallylamidothiophosphoric esters. More particularly, this invention relates to new N-polychloroallylamido-thiophosphoric esters, the method for the preparation of same and their application in the fight against noxious insects.

Abstract: Derivatives of quinoline-8-carboxylic acid having pesticidal action are disclosed, as are compositions comprising such derivatives.The quinoline-8-carboxylic acid derivatives which we have found to be effective pesticides include such derivatives having the general formula: ##STR1## in which R represents H, halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl, CF.sub.3, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 - alkoxyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 - alkythio;X represents the group OY, in which Y is H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkinyl optionally substituted, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a transition metal, Mn, NR.sub.2 in which both R equal or different have the same significance as above or are pyridines, aryl or alkyl or aralkylamines; and the quarternarized nitrogen salts of said compounds.The compounds having formula: I. are distinguished by having good activity as pesticides and, in particular, as insecticides.

Abstract: Compounds consisting of a variously substituted unsaturated aliphatic chain and a terminal vinyl dichloro or trichloro substituted residue are disclosed, as well as a process for preparing them. The compounds are insecticides which exhibit an activity similar to that of the juvenile hormone and inhibit the development and metamorphosis of various insects.
