Fenitrothion（Cat No.:R050664）is an organophosphate insecticide widely used in agriculture and public health to control pests on crops, as well as in mosquito control programs. It works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve function in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Fenitrothion is effective against a variety of insects, including mosquitoes, flies, and crop pests, and is valued for its relatively low toxicity to mammals when used correctly. Its fast-acting, broad-spectrum capabilities make it a vital tool in pest management, supporting crop yields and reducing vector-borne disease risks.
