Description

Dicofol CAS NO 115-32-2 is a chlorinated organochlorine acaricide and miticide, historically significant for its targeted action against phytophagous mites. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness in protecting a wide range of crops from mite infestations, thereby safeguarding yield and quality. This product is essential for agricultural producers, crop protection formulators, and researchers in the agrochemical sector seeking reliable pest management solutions.

Application

• Agricultural Crop Protection: Control of spider mites, red mites, and other phytophagous mites on fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
• Citrus and Fruit Orchards: Protection of citrus trees, apples, pears, and stone fruits from mite damage that can reduce fruit quality and marketability.
• Cotton and Field Crops: Mitigation of mite populations in cotton, hops, and other field crops to prevent defoliation and yield loss.
• Horticulture and Nurseries: Use in greenhouse and nursery settings for managing mite outbreaks on high-value ornamental plants and seedlings.
• Public Health Vector Control: Historical use in certain regions for controlling mites of public health importance, subject to local regulatory approvals.
• Technical Material for Formulation: Serves as a key active ingredient for manufacturers producing emulsifiable concentrates (EC), wettable powders (WP), and other pesticide formulations.
