Abstract
Organophosphorus (OP) compounds comprise an increasingly important class of insecticides owing to the greater emphasis on use of more selective and biodegradable chemicals for management of insect pest populations. There are available at present approximately 85 commercial and experimental OP insecticide chemicals (Kenaga and Allison 1969) including several phosphonate esters (OP compounds with a P—C bond).
