Abstract:
Aphicidal action of Petkolin-A, Petkolin -M and Petkolin-S, have been studied under laboratory condition against adult apterous agamic female cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover. The Petkolins are new pesticides obtained by chlorinating indigenous and imported petroleum fractions (Pakistan Patent 114302, Jan. 14, 1964; |Pakistan J. scient. industr. Res., 1964, 7: 211; Ibid., 1965, 8:248). Results have been compared with other chlorinated insecticides, e.g. BHC (benzene hexa. chloride) and Endrin. It was found that Petkolin-S was as effective as BHC and more toxic than Endrin.
