FORCE C ONTROLS.
. In Developing FORCE soil
insecticide, Zeneca Ag Products simulated and
improved on the powerful chemistry found in
chrysanthemum flowers. The result is the first
pyrethroid insecticide designed for soil
application.
Because of this unique chemistry, FORCE
ranks low in mammalian toxicity, which means
very low hazard to humans. In addition, the
low water solubility and soil mobility of FORCE
greatly reduces any risk of leaching or ground
water contamination.
