Abstract
SummaryInvestigations of the reasons for the instability of emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) during storage and a study of reprocessing insecticide ECMs whose emulsification propertieshad deteriorated during storage is reported. Bioassay showed that very stable emulsions, although physically perfect, leave inadequate residues on the treated leaves. When a deteriorated EC was reprocessed, its emulsification properties were restored, resulting in better adherence of the insecticides on the leaves' surfaces; the residual toxicity was increased.
