Description

Monocrotophos CAS NO 6923-22-4 is a highly effective organophosphate insecticide and acaricide. It matters for its broad-spectrum, systemic, and contact action against a wide range of pests in various crops. This product is primarily needed by the agricultural industry for crop protection and by professional pest control formulators.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Systemic protection against sucking and chewing insects such as aphids, mites, leafhoppers, and caterpillars in cotton, sugarcane, rice, and soybean crops.
• Foliar Spray Applications: Used as a key active ingredient in emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and soluble liquid (SL) formulations for direct crop spraying.
• Professional Pest Management: Formulation into products for controlling pests in non-crop areas, subject to local regulatory approvals.
• Vector Control: Historical use in public health programs for controlling disease-carrying insects, though regulations are now highly restrictive.

Quality Control

Our Monocrotophos technical material is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets defined purity and impurity profile specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and relevant impurities is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or approved container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its hygroscopic nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption. Observe all local and international regulations for the storage of hazardous chemicals.
