together form a bridging 1,3-butadiene group; p is 2 or 3. Preferably the soil-dwelling pest is selected from corn rootworm, wireworms, grubs, in particular white grubs (e.g.
Phyllophaga
sp.,
Diloboderus
sp.,
Popillia japonica
), termites (in particular for sugar cane), subterraneous stinkbugs (e.g.
Scaptocoris
sp.), cutworms (e.g.
agrotis
sp.), millipedes (e.g.
Julus
sp.) and broca gigante (e.g.
Telchin licus
).
