Carbosulfan（Cat No.:I004054）is a broad-spectrum carbamate insecticide commonly used in agriculture to control a variety of pests, particularly in crops like rice, maize, and fruits. It works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve function in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Carbosulfan’s effectiveness against both soil and foliar pests makes it a versatile choice for pest management. However, it degrades into carbofuran, a more toxic compound, necessitating careful handling and application. Carbosulfan is widely researched for its environmental impact and residue persistence in agricultural ecosystems.
