Adult boll weevils. Anthonomus grandis Boheman, were treated topically and bollworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), larvae and adults were treated by injection with carbarylnaphthyl-C14 Hydrolytic as well as oxidative mechanisms were involved in the degradation of the carbamate in both species. Chloroform-extractable metabolites tentatively identified were: 1-naphthol; 1-hydroxy-5, 6-dihydro-5, 6-dihydroxynaphthalene; 5, 6-dihydro-5, 6-dihydroxy-lnaphthyl N-methylcarbamate; and 1-naphthyl N-hyclroxymethyl carbamate. Unknown metabolites of a water-soluble nature were predominant in both insect species.
