Description

Technical Content: Malathion 50% EC Malathion 50% EC is an insecticide formulation that contains malathion as the active ingredient at a concentration of 50%. It is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) which means it’s a liquid form that needs to be diluted with water before use. Malathion is a broad-spectrum Contact action insecticide, meaning it can kill a wide variety of insects. It is commonly used to control pests in agricultural, horticultural, and public health settings. Malathion works by disrupting the insect’s nervous system. It is a relatively low-toxicity insecticide for mammals, but it can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Mode of action: Detailed breakdown of the mode of action of MAL50 Malathion 50% EC: Malathion enters the insect’s body through contact, ingestion, or inhalation. Once inside the insect’s body, enzymes convert malathion to its more toxic form, malaoxon. This process is called bioactivation. Malaoxon binds to an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is found in nerve cells. AChE normally breaks down acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter that transmits signals between nerve cells. When malaoxon binds to AChE, it prevents the enzyme from breaking down ACh. This causes ACh to build up in the synapses, the junctions between nerve cells. The excess ACh over stimulates the insect’s nervous system, leading to uncontrolled muscle contractions, tremors, paralysis, and eventually death. Key features: Malathion can kill a wide range of insects, making it a versatile choice for pest control. Malathion works by both contact and stomach poisoning. This means that it will kill insects that come into contact with it, as well as insects that eat treated plants. Malathion provides rapid knockdown of pests, offering quick relief from infestations. Malathion is considered to be a relatively low-toxicity insecticide compared to some other options.
