TRAIL 48 EC

INTRODUCTION: INSECTICIDE ( IRAC CROUP 1B Organophosphates): 1Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitorsNerve action {Strong evidence that action at this protein is responsible for insecticidal effects} – TRAIL 48 EC is used tocontrol most agricultural pests including Coleoptera, Diptera, Homoptera and Lepidoptera in soil or on foliage in over100 crops, including pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus fruit, nut crops, strawberries, figs, bananas, vines, vegetables,potatoes, beet, tobacco, soya beans, sunflowers, sweet potatoes, peanuts, rice, cotton, alfalfa, cereals, maize,sorghum, asparagus, glasshouse and outdoor ornamentals, turf, and in forestry.

On the farm, it is used to control ticks on cattle and as a spray to control crop pests. -Chlorpyrifos is an organic thiophosphate that is O,O-diethyl hydrogen phosphorothioate in which the hydrogen of thehydroxy group has been replaced by a 3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-yl group. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7(acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, an agrochemi- cal, an EC 3.1.1.8 (cholinesterase) inhibitor, an environmentalcontaminant, a xenobiotic, an acaricide and an insecticide.
