Insecticidal substituted and unsubstituted benzoic acid 1-alkyl, 2-alkyl and 2-cycloalkylhydrazides

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for controlling insect populations and for protecting living plants from insect attack by applying to said plants or to the soil in which they are growing an insecticidally-effective amount of a substituted benzoic acid 1 or 2-alkyl or 2-cycloalkylhydrazide. Novel substituted benzoic acid 1 and 2-alkyl and 2-cycloalkylhydrazides effective as insecticides or intermediates for the preparation of insecticidal diacylhydrazides also are presented.
