Malathion 5 EC (2.5 gallons)
Water Emulsifiable Spray Concentrate Insecticide and Miticide
MALATHION 5EC is a water emulsifiable spray concentrate insecticide and miticide. MALATHION is a cholinesterase inhibitor, but it requires activation by conversion to its oxygen analog, malaoxon. Insects and mammals both possess an enzyme which allows the conversion of malathion into malaoxon. However, humans and other mammals possess a second enzyme which rapidly metabolizes malathion and malaoxon into non-active diacids. Insects do not possess this second enzyme. MALATHION 5EC is a residual spray for stored product pest and outdoor fly and mosquito control. It can be used for spraying crops, pastures, outdoor ornamentals, crops, pasture and range grass and grass hay. |
