Description

Azinphos-Methyl CAS NO 86-50-0 is a potent organophosphate insecticide and acaricide belonging to the phosphorodithioate chemical class. Its primary value lies in its broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of chewing and sucking insect pests, offering effective crop protection. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable pest control solutions. It is primarily utilized in the production of crop protection formulations for various fruits, vegetables, and field crops.

Application

• Agricultural Insecticide: Formulated for the control of a wide range of insect pests in orchards, including codling moth, leafrollers, and aphids on crops such as apples, pears, and citrus.
• Crop Protection Formulations: Serves as a key active ingredient in the manufacture of emulsifiable concentrates (EC), wettable powders (WP), and other commercial pesticide products.
• Vegetable and Fruit Production: Used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for protecting high-value crops like nuts, grapes, and certain vegetables from damaging insect infestations.
• Non-Crop Uses: Historically applied in forestry and for the control of certain pests in non-agricultural settings, subject to local regulatory approvals.
