Methidathion 400g/L Ec Insecticide Acaricide

Methidathion is a broad-spectrum, highly toxic organic compound. It belongs to the class of organophosphate insecticides. It has contact and stomach poison effects, along with penetration capabilities, but it does not have systemic action. Methidathion is particularly effective against pests and mites, especially scale insects. It can also control various cotton pests. Methidathion penetrates plant tissues and withstands rain. It kills pests on leaves and fruit skins, as well as those on the undersides of leaves that do not directly contact the pesticide. This demonstrates its broad insecticidal effects and application potential.
Methidathion mainly works by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase in the nervous system. This leads to an excessive accumulation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the body, causing symptoms such as muscle weakness and respiratory distress, ultimately resulting in death.

Application

Methidathion is widely used in agriculture, especially in citrus-producing areas, to control the citrus leafminer. The citrus leafminer is a common pest that can damage the branches, leaves, and fruits of citrus plants, leading to yellowing, insufficient ripening, and poor coloration of the fruits. In severe cases, it can cause leaf curling and branch dieback, reducing both the yield and quality of the fruit. By conducting control trials using insecticides like Methidathion, it is possible to effectively manage the damage caused by the citrus leafminer and protect citrus crops.
