Pirimicarb（Cat No.:R069662）is a selective carbamate insecticide widely used to control aphids in agriculture and horticulture. It acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting nerve impulse transmission and leading to insect paralysis and death. Unlike many broad-spectrum pesticides, pirimicarb shows high selectivity for aphids with relatively low toxicity to beneficial insects such as ladybirds and pollinators, making it valuable in integrated pest management. It is applied to crops like cereals, vegetables, and fruit trees. Its specificity, systemic action, and effectiveness support sustainable crop protection strategies.
