Isocarbophos Usage And Synthesis

Description

Isocarbophos is a broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide used to control a variety of leaf-eating and soil insects on rice, fruit and other crops^1-3. It can control various kinds of pests such as aphids, spider mite, borers and leaf rollers. However, it is an insecticide without EU regulatory approval for use. It has a moderate level of water solubility. It has caused environmental pollution in many areas but little is known regarding its environmental fate^1-2. It is highly toxic to mammals and also has a high potential for bioaccumulation. It is an acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor and a neurotoxin¹.
