Comparative prophylactic antitermite efficacy of three insecticides, viz., commerical sample of cashew nut shell liquid, Aldrin and Dieldrin was tested for a period of four years. The result shows that both Aldrin and Dieldrin in 1 % and 2% concentration behave satisfactorily for prophylactic protection of timbers against subterranean wood-destroying termites. But highest preference should be given to Aldrin at 2% concentration. Commercial sample of cashew nut shell liquid gave only little protection in the first and second year.

Abstract


Comparative prophylactic antitermite efficacy of three insecticides, viz., commerical sample of cashew nut shell liquid, Aldrin and Dieldrin was tested for a period of four years. The result shows that both Aldrin and Dieldrin in 1 % and 2% concentration behave satisfactorily for prophylactic protection of timbers against subterranean wood-destroying termites. But highest preference should be given to Aldrin at 2% concentration. Commercial sample of cashew nut shell liquid gave only little protection in the first and second year.
