Use

Plant. When applied to citrus rinds, 50% was lost after 4.6 days for the first 33 days and an additional 25% was lost 14 days for the subsequent 26 days (Iwata et al., 1982). Chemical/Physical. Metaldehyde can be converted to acetaldehyde by heating to 150°C for 4–5 hours or by the reaction of concentrated hydrochloric acid (6 M) for a couple of minutes (Booze and Oehme, 1985).
