Introduction to MethoxyDDT
MethoxyDDT is an organic compound with the chemical formula C16H15Cl3O2. It is mainly used as an organochlorine insecticide and has contact killing and gastric toxic effects. It has no internal absorption effect, a wide insecticidal spectrum, and low toxicity to humans and animals. It has no cumulative effect in the organic body and is easily decomposed by multifunctional oxidase, turning into water-soluble non-toxic excreta.
Application of MethoxyDDT
Mainly used as organochlorine insecticides, it has contact killing and gastric toxic effects, no internal absorption, a wide insecticidal spectrum, low toxicity to humans and animals, no cumulative effect in organic bodies, easy to be decomposed by multifunctional oxidase, and converted into water-soluble non-toxic excreta. It can be used for field crops, fruit trees, vegetables, and other crops to prevent and control pests such as corn borers, bridge worms, bean beetles, pea weevils, fruit tree carnivores, apple moths, Japanese golden turtles, small weevils, sky caterpillars, fruit flies, leaf cicadas, stink bugs, vegetable leaf jumping beetles, diamondback moths, yellow melon, and seed flies.
