  • Applications

    Malaoxon (CAS 1634-78-2) is an organophosphate insecticide used primarily as an active ingredient in crop-protection formulations for agriculture and horticulture; it is also encountered in applications for stored-product pest management and urban/home pest control, formulated to suppress a range of chewing and sucking pests; as an oxon derivative, it acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, and its use is subject to strict regulatory controls and formulation limits.
