ABSTRACT:
Diabroticite insects, in particular the corn rootworm, are major pests of corn as well as a variety of other agricultural crops. The invention describes an aqueous composition which is effective as an insecticide for the control of Diabroticite insects and contains a photoactive xanthene dye, such as phloxine B, as a toxicant and a cucurbitacin-containing feeding stimulant. Additives such as a starch thickener and an adherent may also be included in the composition.
