Alanycarb is a synthetic insecticide from the active ingredient group of carbamates . It was introduced by the Otsuka company in the late 1980s .

Mode of action

Alanycarb acts as a contact and food poison . The effect is similar to that of other carbamate insecticides. It inhibits the enzyme acetylcholine esterase in the synapses of the nervous system . This causes an excess of acetylcholine on the postsynaptic membrane, which results in permanent excitation of the nervous system. The nerve function comes to a standstill and the affected organism is paralyzed, which can lead to respiratory failure and death.

use

Alanycarb is an insecticide with a broad spectrum of activity. It is to combat butterflies ( Lepidoptera ), beetles ( Coleoptera ), thrips ( Thysanoptera ) and Schnabelkerfen ( Hemiptera ) in the cultivation of vines , citrus plants applied and vegetables and tobacco cultivation.

toxicity

Alanycarb is slightly irritating to the eyes. It is classified as a Class II toxin (moderately dangerous) by the World Health Organization .

Alanycarb is poisonous to bees . The compound is not very persistent in the soil with a half-life of 1 to 2 days. In addition, it quickly decomposes when exposed to sunlight.

Admission

No pesticides with the active ingredient alanycarb are permitted in the European Union . The maximum residue limit was set at 0.01 mg / kg for all foods.
