Chemical Aspects of Insecticides and Fungicides. To (1) 
develop methods for analysis of agricultural products for insecti- 
cide and fungicide residues and learn amounts of residues; (2) 
develop better techniques for applying insecticides and fungicides; 
(3) study biochemical effects of insecticides and fungicides on 
plant and animal tissues; and (4) improve formulation methods for 
pesticides. 
Agr. Chem. 85 
Development of New Chemicals for Use as Insecticides, Fungi- 
cides, Bactericides and Herbicides. To synthesize and investigate 
chemical and biological properties of chemical compounds of poten- 
tial usefulness in pest control materials. 
Ent., Zool., Biochem. 999 Coop. Eastern Regional Laboratory 
Evaluation of New Insecticides. To learn (1) effectiveness 
and economy of new insecticides for various crops under state 
conditions; (2) magnitude of insecticide residues on plants; (3) 
effect of insecticides on flavor and aroma of plant products. 
Ent. 100 
B. Adjuvants and Formulations 
Insecticidal Formulations and Their Effects on Insects and 
Plants. To (1) determine effect of physical state of insecti- 
cidal formulations on their toxicity to insects; (2) determine 
tolerance of various subtropical crops to different chemical 
sprays and dusts; (3) improve or develop effective control of 
insect pests under Hawaiian conditions through use of proper 
insecticide formulations. 
Ent. 964 
Fundamental and Applied Colloid-Chemical Aspects of Agri- 
cultural Chemistry. To CT) improve or devise new wax emulsions 
for treating nursery stock and plant materials so as to reduce 
their cost of production and increase usefulness in horticultural 
and other practices, and (2) develop new or improved formulations 
and methods for the production of colloidal iodine. 
Chem. 1 
The Influence of Climatic Factors and the Chemical and 
Physical Properties of Diluents and Carriers on the Effective- 
ness of Insecticide Dusts and Wettable Powder. To measure 
physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of diluents 
and carriers and to correlate these properties with the behavior 
of insecticide formulations during application and use as residual 
deposits under known climatic conditions.
