METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR CONTROL OF NITROGEN-FIXING ANIMALS

摘要

Animal pests capable of nitrogen fixation are controlled by treatment with a metal compound of either molybdenum or tungsten. Such metal salts are uniquely toxic to termites and shipworms in low dosages, and may be inorporated into direct control agents, termite baits or soil inoculants, for example, or may be incorporated with other ingredients in a wood treating dip or pressure treating composition for wood preservation.
