There is described a device which develops an attractive and toxic action for combatting insects, consisting of a substrate of fibers and/or fibrils containing, either in an adsorbed or dispersed form, a pheromone, and which is partially coated with a layer impermeable to the phermone, the layer carrying, adhering to its external surface, an insecticide or a substrate impregnated with an insecticide.

Device developing an attractive and toxic action for fighting insects

Dispenser for the slow release of volatile pheromones comprising an adsorbing substrate of fibrils and/or fibers or their mixtures containing the active ingredient adsorbed or dispersed therein and coated with a layer which is impermeable to pheromones.

Mixtures containing (Z)-5-dodecenyl-acetate optionally combined with other compounds are shown to have a high attracting power for the male insects of the species Cossus cossus. Said mixtures may be employed in traps both for a monitoring action on the population density in a certain area and for mass-captures, or they may be employed for permeating the air in a certain zone, thus preventing the insects from mating.

Sexual attracting mixtures for Cossus cossus (Lepidoptera)

Described are compounds of the formula: ##SPC1## Wherein:

N,N-di-sec.butyl-benzamide herbicides

S-benzyl-N,N-disec.butylthiocarbamate, a new compound, has the unique combination of properties of being both an efficient rice field weed killer and a rice growth stimulant.
