:

Oxydemeton-methyl

Description:
Oxydemeton-methyl, with the CAS number 301-12-2, is an organophosphate compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural practices. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. The substance is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Oxydemeton-methyl is known for its systemic action, allowing it to be absorbed by plants and providing protection against pests that feed on them. However, it poses potential risks to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and humans, necessitating careful handling and application. Due to its toxicity and environmental persistence, regulatory measures may restrict its use in certain regions. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this chemical to mitigate exposure risks.
