Description

Dichlorvos (CAS No. 62-55-5) is a highly effective organophosphate insecticide and acaricide with the molecular formula C₄H₇Cl₂O₄P. Its IUPAC name is 2,2-dichloroethenyl dimethyl phosphate. This volatile compound is widely recognized for its rapid knockdown effect against a broad spectrum of insects and pests. Dichlorvos is commonly available in various formulations, including aerosols, emulsifiable concentrates, and resin strips, making it versatile for both agricultural and household applications. It acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting the nervous system of target organisms. Suitable for professional and research use, this product is handled with strict adherence to safety protocols due to its toxicity. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials.

Application

Dichlorvos is extensively used in agriculture to control pests in stored grains, greenhouses, and field crops. It is also employed in public health programs to combat disease vectors such as mosquitoes and flies. In veterinary medicine, it serves as an anthelmintic for livestock. Due to its volatility, it is effective in enclosed spaces like warehouses and aircraft for disinsection. Researchers utilize Dichlorvos in toxicology studies to understand organophosphate mechanisms and resistance development.
