CAS 119791-41-2: Emamectin
Description:Emamectin is a semi-synthetic derivative of avermectin, primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its broad-spectrum activity against a variety of pests, particularly lepidopteran insects. Emamectin functions by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death of the target organisms. The substance is typically formulated as a soluble concentrate or granule, making it suitable for various application methods, including foliar sprays. Its chemical structure features a macrocyclic lactone, which contributes to its potency and selectivity. Emamectin is known for its relatively low toxicity to non-target organisms, including mammals and beneficial insects, which makes it a preferred choice in integrated pest management strategies. However, it is important to handle it with care, as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. Environmental persistence and potential effects on aquatic ecosystems are also considerations in its use, necessitating adherence to recommended application guidelines to minimize risks.
