Identification of insecticides and acaricides by comparative bioassay

Science
R F HARWOOD, S AREEKUL

Abstract

Toxicants in purified form can be identified by applying a base dose, consisting of the amount causing 50-percent mortality in one organism, to other susceptible organisms. This yields a mortality pattern which "fingerprints" the compound. Toxicants related by chemical structure or biological activity tend to possess similar mortality patterns.
