What is it?
Carbaryl is a chemical compound developed by Union Carbide, now part of Dow Chemical Company. It belongs to the carbamate class of insecticides and is categorized under Group 1A by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC). Carbaryl functions primarily as a contact insecticide, with some stomach poison action. It is non-selective, targeting a broad range of insect pests. The primary areas of use for Carbaryl include agriculture, garden, and turf settings. It is typically applied at a moderate to high rate.
How does it work?
Carbaryl works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in insects. This enzyme is crucial for breaking down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, Carbaryl causes an accumulation of acetylcholine in the insect's nervous system, leading to overstimulation, paralysis, and ultimately death. The effects on pests can be observed within hours to days after application, depending on the pest species and environmental conditions.
Benefits
Carbaryl is effective against a wide range of insects, including aphids, caterpillars, beetles, and various lawn and garden pests. Its broad-spectrum control makes it a versatile tool in pest management. Carbaryl is particularly valuable for its efficacy in controlling pests in fruit and vegetable crops, ornamental plants, and lawns.
