Triazophos 40% EC

Introduction

Triazophos 40% EC. Triazophos is a non-systemic, broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide with contract and stomach action.

Triazophos is one of a class of chemically similar substances called organophosphorus pesticides. Triazophos are chemically similar to compounds developed as ’nerve gas’ developed for use as chemical weapons before and during the second world war, and have a similar mode of action. Triazophos is broken down in the environment and does not bioaccumulate, unlike certain organo chlorine Insecticides, for example. Effects of releases are therefore considered to be confined to the locality of the release and significant transport in environmental media over long distances is considered to be insignificant.

Triazophos is used as a broad spectrum Insecticide/acaricide (mites) - on aphids and insects in cereals, fruit and vegetables and oil seed rape.
