Flumethrin, with the CAS number 69770-45-2, is a high - quality product that offers great value at the best price. Chemically, it is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide. It has a molecular formula of C22H20Cl2FNO3 and a molecular weight of approximately 436.3 g/mol.
Flumethrin usually appears as a white to light - yellow crystalline powder. It has a melting point in the range of 65 - 67°C and a boiling point around 538.2°C at 760 mmHg. Its density is about 1.32 g/cm³. It is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and toluene. This solubility property makes it suitable for various formulations in pest control applications.
Flumethrin is primarily used in the field of pest control. In the agricultural sector, it is widely used to protect crops from a variety of insects and mites. For example, it can control aphids, thrips, and spider mites on fruits, vegetables, and field crops. By applying flumethrin, farmers can effectively reduce pest - related damage to their crops, thereby improving yields and the quality of the produce.
In the livestock industry, flumethrin plays a crucial role in protecting animals from external parasites. It can be used to treat and prevent infestations of ticks, lice, and mites on cattle, sheep, and goats. This helps to improve the health and well - being of the animals, reduce the spread of diseases carried by these parasites, and increase the productivity of the livestock.
It is also used in the pet care industry. Products containing flumethrin are available for protecting cats and dogs from fleas and ticks, providing long - lasting protection for pets and their owners.
When using flumethrin in agriculture, it is usually formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, or suspension concentrate. The product should be diluted according to the instructions on the label. For foliar application, use a sprayer to evenly apply the diluted solution on the leaves of the crops, making sure to cover both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. It is recommended to apply the product in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid strong sunlight and high temperatures, which may reduce the effectiveness of the product.
In the livestock industry, flumethrin can be applied topically as a pour - on or dip. When using a pour - on, part the animal's hair along the backline and apply the product directly to the skin. For dipping, immerse the animal in a diluted flumethrin solution. Care should be taken to ensure that the animal's entire body is thoroughly wet, especially areas where parasites are likely to attach, such as the ears, underbelly, and legs.
For pet care products, follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer. Usually, a spot - on treatment is applied to the back of the pet's neck, where the pet cannot lick it off easily. Avoid contact with the pet's eyes, mouth, and open wounds during application.
Case 1: In a large - scale apple orchard, the orchard owner was facing a severe infestation of spider mites. The mites were causing significant damage to the apple leaves, leading to reduced photosynthesis and potential yield loss. After applying a flumethrin - based product according to the recommended dosage and application method, the spider mite population was effectively controlled within a week. The apple trees recovered, and the fruit yield at the end of the season was close to the normal level, ensuring a good economic return for the orchard owner.
Case 2: A cattle ranch was struggling with a tick infestation. The ticks were not only causing discomfort to the cattle but also spreading diseases such as babesiosis. The rancher decided to use a flumethrin pour - on product. After a single application, the number of ticks on the cattle decreased significantly. Over time, the cattle's health improved, and the incidence of tick - borne diseases was greatly reduced. This led to better growth and higher milk production in the dairy cows and improved meat quality in the beef cattle.
