Extended summaries: Pesticides group and physicochemical and biophysical panel symposium: The impact of genetic engineering on pest management. Engineering insect resistance into crop plants

Residue levels of organophosphorus, organochlorine and carbarmate insecticides, urea, carbamate and anilide herbicides, carbendazim, fumigants and bromide were determined in home-grown and imported wheat sampled at UK flour mills during the period February 1987 to December 1988. A total of 764 samples was analysed but not all the wheats were tested for all the residues; 140 of 474 samples examined for organophosphorus insecticides contained residues at levels above the reporting limit, 23 of 119 samples contained residues of gamma-HCH, seven of 104 contained carbon tetrachloride and one of 104 contained 1,2-dibromoethane. No residues of urea, carbamate or anilide herbicides, carbendazim, carbaryl or methyl bromide were detected in 32, 40, 44 and 45 samples respectively. Inorganic bromide levels in 45 samples examined were consistent with natural occurrence. Only a single imported wheat was found to contain a residue (of 1,2-dibromoethane) at a level in excess of UK statutory maximum residue levels.

Extended summaries pesticides group symposium physicochemical properties as factors affecting the penetration of xenobiotics to the target site

Allyl alcohol esters (propionate, formate, and acetate) and structurally related compounds (3-methylallyl alcohol and vinyl acetate) were evaluated for their fumigation properties vis-a-vis Theba pisana (Mueller) snails. The esters were very effective in exterminating the snails, although less so than the parent alcohol. These results suggest that the esters might first have to undergo hydrolysis, and only thereafter demonstrate their potency. 3-Methylallyl alcohol (four-carbon member) and vinyl acetate (two-carbon member, after hydrolysis) were significantly less potent than the allyl esters. All three esters showed less phytotoxicity towards roses than did allyl alcohol itself. However, only allyl acetate caused no damage whatsoever to the entire plant tested (flower, leaves, sepals, and stem).
