Dichlofenthion (CAS 97-17-6, C10H13Cl2O3PS), is a colorless to yellow liquid, widely used as an organophosphorus insecticide and acaricide. It is primarily used for controlling pests in agricultural crops and livestock. Dichlofenthion exhibits excellent insecticidal and acaricidal properties, effectively targeting a wide range of pests including mites, aphids, and whiteflies. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the activity of cholinesterase enzymes in the nervous system of insects and mites, leading to paralysis and ultimately death. Due to its effectiveness and broad spectrum of activity, dichlofenthion plays a crucial role in pest control in various application fields such as agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry.
