The present invention relates to unsubstituted diacylhydrazine compounds and novel substituted diacylhydrazine compounds useful as insecticidal agents. These diacylhydrazines control insect populations and protect agronomic crops, trees, shrubs and ornamentals, both while growing and after harvesting, from insect attack. n Novel substituted benzoic acid 1 and 2-alkyl and 2-cycloalkylhydrazides effective as insecticides or intermediates for the preparation of insecticidal diacylhydrazides also are presented. |
