Abstract
Compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which R is a cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1 is lower alkyl. The compounds are selectively useful in controlling insects.
Claims6
A method for selectively impeding the metamorphosis of insects comprising applying to the insect at its larval stage, a metamorphosis-inhibiting effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR4## wherein R is cycloalkyl having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1 is lower alkyl.
A composition effective in selectively impeding the metamorphosis of insects comprising:
- (a) a metamorphosis-inhibiting effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR5## wherein R is cycloalkyl having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1 is lower alkyl;
- and, (b) an inert carrier.
