FO R E WO RD

0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards I nstitution on 25 October 1979, after the draft finalized by
the Pest Control Sectioned Committee had been approved by the
Agric.ultural and Food Products Division Council and the Chemical
Division Council.
0.2 Fenitrothion ernulsifiabje concentrates are largely used in the control
of insect pests of agricultural and public health importance,
0.3 Fenitrothion emulsifiable concentrate form ilations are genera1Iy
manufactured to contain 50 percent (11l/t") and 82-5 percent (mlm) ~f
fenitrothion. 82-5 percent i mlm ], emulsifiable concentrate is used t>r
aerial spraying.
,
0.4 This standard was first published in 1969. Six amendments to tlis
were issued frorn time to time, This revision incorporates six amendments issued to t he earlier version and test method has boen modified. .
0.5 In the preparation of this standard due consideration has been given
to the provisions of the Insecticides Act, 1968 and the Rules framed
thereunder. However, this standard is subject to the restrictions imposed
under these, wherever applicable,
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or ana lysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS: 2..t960. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard .

as rapidly as the spot test permits. Near the end-point add the sodium
nitrite solution in four-drop portions.
A-2.3 Spot Test - Dip a glass rod into the solution to be tested and
then touch the rod quickly to a piece of potassium iodide-starch pap~r..
