説明

Fenoxycarb is a carbamate insect growth regulator. Fenoxycarb is a yellow granular solid, broad-spectrum insect growth regulator, and non-neurotoxic carbamate. Fenoxycarb is almost insoluble in water but soluble and very soluble in hexane, acetone, chloroform, diethyl ether, and methanol. Fenoxycarb is a general use pesticide (GUP), meaning the user or the pesticide applicator does not need a licence. It is used to control a wide variety of insect pests, such as fire ant bait and for flea and mosquito. It is also used for the control of cockroaches, butterflies, moths, beetles, scale, and sucking insects on olives, vines, cottons, and fruits. It is also used to control these pests on stored products. As a growth regulator, fenoxycarb blocks the ability of an insect to change into the adult stage from the juvenile stage (metamorphosis). Fenoxycarb interferes with larval moulting, the periodic shedding or moulting of the old exoskeleton, and production of a new exoskeleton. Although fenoxycarb is a carbamate insecticide, it exhibits no anti-cholinesterase activity and is thus considered non-neurotoxic. It mimics the action of the juvenile hormones (JHs) on a number of physiological processes, such as moulting and reproduction in insects.
