Chlorodimeform

Amitrole (i. e., a weakly basic pesticide) and the insecticide Dimefox (tetra-methyl phosphorodiamidic fluoride) have been shown to be adsorbed by HA through ionic bonding [17, 151-153]. The interaction between the cationic pesticide Chlorodimeform and SPHA was studied and, based on IR data, Maqueda et al. [154] indicated that an ion exchange bonding mechanism occurred. 

The principal source of 4-chloro-ort/zo-toluidine in the enviromnent was as an impurity and as a decomposition (metabolic) product of chlorodimeform. This pesticide is no longer produced (WHO, 1998). 

Using 3rd instar larvae of the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella), the antifeedant and insecticidal activities of sixteen quassinoids were compared with those of known insect antifeedant chlorodimeform (= galecron), as shown in Table 16. The insecticidal activity of quassin (78) was higher than that of chlorodimeform, although its antifeedant activity was nearly identical to that of the reference compound [39].
