Acephate(link:https://www.bloomtechz.com/synthetic-chemical/api-researching-only/acephate-powder-cas-30560-19-1.html), chemical name: 0, S-Dimethyl Ethyl Phosphocolor, is an old variety of organic phosphorus pesticides. It is an efficient, low toxicity, low residue, and broad-spectrum organic phosphorus insecticide. It is an ethylated derivative of methamidophos. It was first synthesized by Bayer in 1964. In 1972, ChevronChemical Co. was officially commercialized in the United States. There are already multiple factories producing in our country. According to reports, acephate does not pollute the environment and is quickly degraded by plants and soil microorganisms after application. Acephate or its metabolites are quickly excreted from the body and do not accumulate in organisms. Therefore, it has broad application prospects. Acephate has always been widely used abroad, but due to the widespread use of highly toxic organic phosphorus such as methamidophos in China, its application is limited to a very small range. With the fading out of the market of highly toxic organic phosphorus, especially methamidophos, the widespread application of acephate will be a great opportunity. Many organic phosphorus manufacturers are preparing to launch large-scale acetylation of amifos, and a large number of literature on the process of acephate has emerged. However, due to the impact of the yield of methamidophos generated by the isomerization of fertilized amines, the process of methamidophos conversion into acephate has never reached an ideal level.
The insecticidal spectrum of acephate is basically consistent with that of methamidophos, and it can be expanded for use in vegetables, fruit trees, and other recently harvested crops. Mainly use emulsifiable concentrates or wettable powders to spray water as foliar spray, which can control aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, planthoppers, leaf mites, leaf bees, scale insects, stinkbug and Lepidoptera larvae on cotton, rice, corn, soybeans, tobacco, vegetables, fruit trees, trees and other crops. Treating wheat seeds can prevent and control underground pests. It can also prevent and control health pests such as cockroaches. Generally used, it is harmless, but crops such as sunflowers and certain varieties of apples are more sensitive. It is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the new generation of amino nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. It is widely used in the fields of agriculture and public health to control various insect pests.
1. Agricultural pest control: Acephate can be used to control various pests in the order Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Thysanoptera, and Homoptera, such as rice planthoppers, rice leaf curlers, locusts, cotton bollworms, diamondback moths, etc. When used, it is usually mixed with water in a certain proportion and then spray, which can penetrate the body wall of pests, interfere with their nerve conduction, and cause death.
2. Health pest control:
Acephate can be used to control health pests such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, etc. By directly spraying or using bait, the density of these pests can be effectively controlled and the spread of diseases can be prevented.
-Targeting aphids: Acephate is the most widely used pesticide in agriculture as an insecticide to kill aphids. Aphids are important pests that cause crop yield reduction and virus transmission. Acephate can effectively control various aphids, such as plant aphids and tobacco aphids.
-For other pests: Acephate can also be used to control other insect pests, such as white whitefly, leaf beetle, striped armyworm, etc.
3. Wood preservation: Acephate can be used for wood preservation treatment. It can penetrate into the interior of wood, suppress and kill borers and molds in the wood, and improve the durability and anti-corrosion ability of the wood.
4. Animal Extracorporeal Parasite Prevention and Control: Acetylmethamidophos can be used to prevent and control animal extracorporeal parasites, such as ticks and lice on livestock. When used, it is usually prepared into lotion or powder, applied on the animal body surface or made into a medicine bath for use.
5. Leather preservation: Acetylmethamidophos can be used as a preservative in the leather preservation process, which can extend the storage time and service life of leather.
6. Wood protection: Acetylmethamidophos can be used for the preparation of wood protectants. By applying it to the surface of wood or making an impregnation solution, it can effectively prevent wood decay and mold, while also improving the hardness and water resistance of wood.
7. Aquaculture: In aquaculture, acephate can be used to prevent and treat parasitic diseases of aquatic animals, such as fish, crustaceans, and shellfish. By soaking, spraying, or taking orally, it can effectively kill parasites on aquatic animals and protect their health.
8. Public health purposes:
-Indoor pest control: Acephate is widely used to control indoor pests in homes and public places, such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, etc. It can be used as spray, granule or paint.
-Prevention and control of malaria: Acephate is also used to control the vector of malaria transmission - Anopheles mosquitoes.
9. Private and household use:
-Pest control: Acephate is also widely used in private households and households to control various pests such as mosquitoes, fleas, ants, etc.
-Flower protection: Acephate can also be used to protect flowers from pests.
10. Other uses:
-Research purposes: Acephate is also widely used in entomology and agricultural research to observe insect behavior, reproduction, and ecological research.
In summary, acephate is a widely used organic phosphorus insecticide that has applications in agriculture, health, wood preservation, animal ectoparasite control, leather preservation, wood protection, and aquaculture.
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection in China and the successive introduction of national environmental policies, the pesticide and chemical industry in China will enter an important turning point. High toxic organic phosphorus pesticides have been widely used in crop production in China for many years, which can easily cause poisoning to humans and animals, pose a threat to human health and food safety, and also damage wildlife resources. Due to the extensive use of highly toxic organic phosphorus in crops, the organic phosphorus content in grain and cash crops exceeds the standard, which cannot meet the international trade indicators, leading to a lack of competitiveness in China's agricultural products and a significant impact on the sustainable development of China's agricultural economy.
