Description

Dichlorvos CAS NO 62-73-7 is an organophosphate insecticide and acaricide known for its broad-spectrum activity and rapid knockdown effect. This highly volatile compound is critical for controlling a wide range of insect pests in agricultural and public health applications. It is primarily utilized by professional pest control operators, agricultural formulators, and manufacturers of public health insecticides for its efficacy and cost-effectiveness.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Used as a contact and fumigant insecticide for the protection of stored grains, crops in greenhouses, and soil treatment.
• Public Health Vector Control: Effective in controlling mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and other disease-carrying insects in residential and commercial settings.
• Livestock and Animal Husbandry: Applied in livestock premises for the control of ectoparasites such as ticks, mites, and flies.
• Industrial and Structural Pest Management: Incorporated into resin strips or used as a space spray for continuous control of pests in warehouses, food processing plants, and other enclosed spaces.
• Formulation Intermediate: Serves as a key technical-grade active ingredient (TGAI) for the manufacture of various end-use insecticidal products like aerosols, emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and vaporizing strips.
