Bhc (benzene Hexachloride) Formulations

Experience in Queensland has shown that when crude BHC is refined to yield products containing higher proportions of the gamma isomer, the insecticidal persistence of the BHC in soil is decreased. This process also diminishes the specific toxicity of BHC to the soldier fly pest, Alfe~nzetopon.ia rubriceps (Macq.). I t also decreases the potential phytotoxicity, since less total BHC is required ...
