Methomyl is an insecticide used in the agrochemical and fertilizer industry. It is a carbamate insecticide, which works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to paralysis and death of the insect. It is used to control a wide range of pests, including aphids, caterpillars, and beetles. It is also used to control nematodes, mites, and other soil-borne pests. Methomyl is used in both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, and is available in both liquid and granular forms. Methomyl is a popular choice for farmers due to its broad-spectrum activity, low toxicity to mammals, and low cost. It is also used in public health programs to control disease-carrying insects, such as mosquitoes. Some companies in the Methomyl market include Bayer CropScience, Syngenta, BASF, FMC Corporation, and Nufarm. Show Less Read more
