Active ingredient Carbosulfan is an organic compound belonging to the Carbamate group, and toxicity group II, oral LD50 209 mg/kg, dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg. Under normal conditions, Carbosulfan is a brown viscous liquid, specific gravity 1.056 (200C), very slightly soluble in water (0.3 ppm), and highly soluble in organic solvents. Carbosulfan is unstable in acidic environments.
Molecular formula: C20H32N2O3S.
Molecular weight: 380.5 g/mol
1. Characteristics
• Carbosulfan has wide spectrum of contact effects. This active ingredient acts through the body shell of many harmful insects such as worms, spiders, nematodes, etc. and is used on many different types of crops.
• Toxic, harmful to insects when they eat food containing this active ingredient.
• Good absorption capacity, strong penetration, rapid onset and conduction to all different parts of the plant, so it completely destroys harmful objects both inside and outside the plant.
• Fast, strong effect and long-lasting effect.
2. Mechanism of action
• Inhibits insect nervous system activity, affecting harmful insects through contact and the digestive tract.
• In addition, Carbosulfan also has systemic and conduction effects on plants. It is absorbed and conduction to all parts of the plant. When insects suck or eat sprayed plants, harmful insects will be inhibited by cholinesterase (a neurotransmitter) and die.
3. Toxicity
• Moderate oral toxicity and low dermal toxicity. Carbosulfan is non-cumulative, non-deformative, non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic.
• However, when Carbosulfan enters the blood, it inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (neurotransmitter), causing symptoms of increased mucus secretion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, miosis, increased mucus secretion, bradycardia, hypotension, coma, convulsions, muscle twitching, muscle weakness, respiratory failure leading to death if not treated promptly.
• Highly toxic to birds, fish, aquatic invertebrates, earthworms.
• Low toxicity to algae.
• Moderate to high toxicity to honeybees.
4. Notes
• Wear protective gear and a mask during spraying. Avoid getting the pesticide in your eyes. If the pesticide accidentally gets in your eyes, you need to quickly go to the nearest hospital or medical facility for timely treatment.
• Spray the pesticide in the early morning or cool afternoon.
• If the density of pests is high, spray again after 5-7 days.
• The preharvest interval is 14 days.
• The pesticide can be mixed with other pesticides.
• Wash your hands, feet and body thoroughly after contact with the pesticide.
• Do not eat or swallow.
• Store the pesticide in a cool, dry place, away from light, waterproof and away from fire.
• Keep out of reach of children.
