Fenoxycarb

Fenoxycarb is a yellow granular solid, broad-spectrum insect growth regulator and nonneurotoxic carbamate. Fenoxycarb is almost insoluble in water, but soluble and very soluble in hexane, acetone, chloroform, diethyl ether, and methanol. Fenoxycarb is a GUP, meaning the user or the pesticide applicator does not need a license. It is used to control a wide variety of insect pests, as a fi re ant bait and for fl ea and mosquito control. It is also used for the control of cockroaches, butterfl ies

ChEBI: Fenoxycarb is a carbamate ester that is the O-ethyl carbamate of 2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethylamine. It has a role as a juvenile hormone mimic, an environmental contaminant, a xenobiotic and an insecticide. It is an aromatic ether and a carbamate ester. It is functionally related to a 4-phenoxyphenol.

Insect growth regulator. Its molecular structure has a carbamate gene, but its insecticidal effect is non-neurological, showing strong juvenile hormone activity to most insects, which can prevent eggs from hatching, inhibit adult metamorphosis and larval stage molting, resulting in late larval stage Or pupa death, sometimes the agent will also inhibit the growth of adult or larvae and appear precocious. Its characteristics: broad insecticidal spectrum, both stomach toxicity and contact killing; high efficiency, low toxicity; long residual effect period, no pollution to the environment; can effectively prevent antibiotics and be safe to natural enemies. It can be used in fruit tree leaf moths, carnivorous insects, cotton armyworms and borers, pear yellow wood lice, citrus scale insects, and storage pests, red fire ants, etc., generally use 0.0125% ~ 0.025% chemical treatment , Sometimes 0.006%.

Fenoxycarb is mainly used to control Lepidoptera, scale insects and suckers on fruit, cotton, olives, vines and ornamentals. It is used to control Coleoptera and Lepidoptera in stored products, and cockroaches, fleas, mosquito larvae and fire ants in public health situations.
