CAS 1563-66-2: Carbofuran
Description:Carbofuran is a broad-spectrum carbamate insecticide and nematicide, primarily used in agriculture to control a variety of pests. It is characterized by its systemic action, allowing it to be absorbed by plants and providing protection from pests that feed on them. The chemical structure of carbofuran includes a carbamate functional group, which is responsible for its mode of action as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting neurotransmission in insects. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid with low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents. Its application is often targeted at crops such as corn, potatoes, and vegetables. However, carbofuran is also known for its toxicity to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects, birds, and aquatic life, leading to regulatory scrutiny and restrictions in several countries. Due to its potential environmental impact and health risks, its use has been limited or banned in various regions, emphasizing the importance of careful handling and application in agricultural practices.
