ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
The half-life of phoxim in soil was determined in laboratory and field experiments. After application of a 5 percent granular formulation to bare field soils at a rate of 100 kg/ha, half-lives of about two weeks were determined. In laboratory experiments, addition of 3 mg/kg of phoxim to soil resulted in half-lives of 1 to 11 days.
Usage: Phoxim is an organophosphate insecticide that is produced by the Bayer corporation. It is an analogous dimethyl ester and an organothiophosphate acaricide.
Application: Non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action, and repellent properties. Gives rapid knockdown and long residual activity. Control of a wide spectrum of insect pests, e.g. aphids, Colorado beetles, thrips, Lepidoptera larvae, Coleoptera larvae and adults, etc., in cereals, hops, ornamentals, potatoes, vegetables, cotton, and other crops. Phoxim 250 g/L EC provides good control of insect-borne plant viruses, at 2-5 g/ha. Also used for control of insect pests in public health.
