INTRODUCTION: INSECTICIDE (IRAC CROUP 3A)
Sodium channel Modulators Nerve action {Strong evidence that +action at this protein is responsible for insecticidal effects}
– Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid (type 2) ester insecticide. This material is a member of one of the safest classes of pesticides: syntheticpyrethroids. While mammalian exposure to deltamethrin is classified as safe, this pesticide is highly toxic to aquatic life, particularlyfish, and therefore must be used with extreme caution around water. A pyrethroid is a synthetic chemical compound similar to thenatural chemical pyrethrins produced by the flowers of pyrethrums (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium and C. coccineum). Pyrethroidsare common in commercial products such as household insecticides and insect repellents.In the concentrations used in such products,they are generally harmless to human beings but can harm sensitive individuals. They are usually broken apart by sunlight and theatmosphere in one or two days, and do not significantly affect groundwater quality except for being toxic to fish. Since deltamethrinis a neurotoxin,it temporarily attacks (in medical terms,insults) the nervous system of any animal with which it comes into contact.Skin contact can lead to tingling or reddening of the skin local to the application.If taken in through the eyes or mouth, a commonsymptom is facial paraesthesia, which can feel like many different abnormal sensations,including burning, partial numbness, pins andneedles, skin crawling, etc.

USAGES: Pyrethroids are used as insecticides
– A highly active pyrethroid insecticide; Used to control a wide range of chewing and sucking insects in fruits, vegetables, vines,cereals, maize, cotton, rice, other crops, and forestry; Also used as insecticide for public health pests and animal ectoparasiticide
– It is used mostly for crop protection (85% of total production), of which 45% is used on cotton, 25% on fruit and vegetable crops,20% on cereals, maize and soya beans and the remaining 10% on miscellaneous crops such as coffee, maize and hops.It is also usedin public health program (against Chagas’ disease and malaria) and to protect stored crops, primarily cereal grains, coffee beans anddry beans.It can be used in animal facilities.
