Introduction to Malathion Product

Malathion (chemical formula: C₁₀H₁₉O₆PS₂) is an organic compound belonging to organophosphorus insecticides, mainly acting as a contact poison.

I. Mechanism of Action

Malathion is an organophosphorus insecticide with good contact, stomach poisoning, and certain fumigation effects, but no systemic action. After entering the insect body, it is oxidized into malaoxon, which can better exert the toxic effect. However, when it enters warm-blooded animals, it is hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase, which is not present in insects, thus losing toxicity. Malathion has low toxicity, a short residual period, and is effective against both piercing-sucking and chewing mouthpart pests. Since the human body contains such carboxylesterase, malathion has low toxicity to humans.

II. Suitable Crops

Malathion has a good contact effect on the main pest Oxya chinensis of corn, wheat, sorghum, and many other gramineous crops, especially rice. 45% malathion emulsifiable concentrate is used to control pests in crops such as rice, wheat, cotton, tea plants, vegetables, fruit trees, and beans. In addition, malathion can also be used to control a variety of pests such as vegetable Phyllotreta striolata, aphids, forest locusts, fruit tree stink bugs, aphids, tea tree Pseudaulacaspis pentagona, weevils, cotton Lygus lucorum, aphids, rice planthoppers, thrips, leafhoppers, wheat armyworms, aphids, bean pod borers, and loopers.
