Detailed Product Description
Methomyl 90%SP broad spectrum Insecticide cas 16752-77-5
Description:
Methomyl was introduced in 1966 as a broad spectrum insecticide. It is also used as an acarici
de to control ticks and spiders. It is used for foliar treatment of vegetable, fruit and field crops, c
otton, commercial ornamentals, and in and around poultry houses and dairies. It is also used a
s a fly bait. Methomyl is effective in two ways: (a) as a "contact insecticide," because it kills targ
et insects upon direct contact, and (b) as a "systemic insecticide" because of its capability to ca
use overall "systemic" poisoning in target insects, after it is absorbed and transported througho
ut the pests that feed on treated plants. It is capable of being absorbed by plants without being
"phytotoxic" or harmful, to the plant.
