Purpose:
1. It is a broad-spectrum and quick acting insecticide, which is effective for aphids, cotton bollworms and other pests. It can be used for crops such as grain, cotton, vegetables, tobacco, fruits and so on.
2. Broad spectrum insecticides. It has internal absorption, contact killing and gastric toxicity. It is suitable for cotton, tobacco, fruit trees and vegetables to control aphids, moths, ground tigers and other pests. It is a good alternative to control drug-resistant cotton aphids at present. It is also used as an intermediate of thiocarb.
3. Inhalant carbamate insecticides have both contact and stomach toxicity, can effectively control a variety of pests and their larvae and eggs, and have a short residual effect period. Control of cotton bollworm, cotton moth and tobacco moth by spray with 24% water 24-36mL/100m2. Leaf aphids can also be used to prevent aphids, thrips, red spiders, leaf rollers, and sticky worms. Soil treatment is used to control nematodes and leaf pests. In 1966, it was first recommended by Du Pont company of the United States as an insecticidal and nematicidal agent. It is suitable for controlling aphids, moths, ground tigers and other pests in cotton, tobacco, fruit trees and vegetables. It is a good alternative variety for controlling drug-resistant cotton aphids. This product is also used as an intermediate of thiodicarb.
Methomyl is a carbamate ester obtained by the formal condensation of methylcarbamic acid with the hydroxy group of 1-(methylsulfanyl)acetaldoxime. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, an EC 3.1.1.8 (cholinesterase) inhibitor, an acaricide, a nematicide, a xenobiotic, an environmental contaminant, an insecticide and an agrochemical. It is a carbamate ester and an aliphatic sulfide. It derives from a methylcarbamic acid and a 1-(methylsulfanyl)acetaldoxime.
