Indoxacarb is an active ingredient for crop protection and a 1: 1 mixture (racemate) of two chemical compounds from the group of oxadiazines .
presentation
Indoxacarb can be obtained by enantioselective hydroxylation of the intermediate 2-carboalkoxy-1-indanone, catalyzed by a cinchona alkaloid.
properties
Indoxacarb is a colorless solid that is insoluble in water. The technical product is a 3: 1 mixture of the ( S ) -enantiomer, which is effective as an insecticide, and the ineffective ( R ) -enantiomer.
use
Indoxacarb is used as an insecticide and was approved in the USA for the manufacturer DuPont in 2000 . It is used to control Lepidoptera pests in the larval stage in apples, pears, cabbage vegetables, corn, lettuce and vegetables.
Admission
The active ingredient indoxacarb was added to the list of plant protection active ingredients approved in the European Union with effect from April 1, 2006 .
Pesticides with this active ingredient are approved in Switzerland, Austria and Germany ( Steward in vegetable, fruit and viticulture, Avaunt in rapeseed cultivation).
Indoxacarb has been approved as a biocidal active ingredient in the European Union since the beginning of 2010. In Germany an application was made for approval as a biocide against cockroaches and ants.
Mode of action
Indoxacarb is a proinsecticide, the actual active ingredient is only created by N -decarboxymethylation by esterases . This works by blocking the voltage-activated sodium channels in the insect's nervous system. Since indoxacarb is only activated by metabolism, it is particularly effective against insect strains that are already pyrethroid- resistant.
