Fenthion-ethyl

Description:
Fenthion-ethyl, with the CAS number 1716-09-2, is an organophosphorus compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to their paralysis and death. Fenthion-ethyl is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its effectiveness against a wide range of pests, including aphids, mites, and various other insects. However, it poses potential risks to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and mammals, necessitating careful handling and application. Due to its toxicity, regulatory measures may restrict its use in certain regions, and safety precautions are essential to minimize environmental impact and human exposure. Overall, Fenthion-ethyl exemplifies the dual nature of many pesticides, being effective for pest control while also raising concerns regarding safety and environmental health.
