Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The incorporation of diphenylamine and diethylaniline in commercial DDT-WDP formulations sprayed onPhaseolus aureus andTabernaemontana coronaria revealed that both these chemicals enhanced the initial rate of loss of DDT. Both these sensitizers exhibited no immediate adverse effect on the storage stability, pH, sieve requirement and colour of the formulations and introduced no phytotoxicity. Diphenylamine addition, however, had some adverse effects on the suspensibility.
