Carbaryl is a wide-spectrum carbamate Insecticide which controls over 100 species of insects on Citrus, fruit, Cotton, Forests, lawns, Nuts, ornamentals, shade trees, and other crops, as well as on Poultry, livestock and pets. It is also used as a molluscicide and an acaricide. Carbaryl works whether it is ingested into the stomach of the pest or absorbed through direct contact. Carbaryl is formulated as a solid which varies from colorless to white to gray, depending on the purity of the compound. The crystals are odorless. This chemical is stable to heat, light and acids under storage conditions. It is non-corrosive to metals, packaging materials, or application equipment. Carbaryl is found in all types of formulations including baits, dusts, wettable powder, granules, oil, molassas, aqueous dispersions and suspensions.

Carbaryl is a general use pesticide.

Applications:
The development of the Carbaryl Insecticides has been called a major breakthrough in pesticides. Carbaryl do not have the persistence of chlorinated pesticides. Although toxic to insects, Carbaryl is detoxified and eliminated rapidly in vertebrates. Carbaryl is neither concentrated in fat nor secreted in the milk. For the latter reasons, Carbaryl is favored for food crops.

Biochemistry:
Carbaryl( Sevin) Insecticides are reversible inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Carbaryl resemble acetylcholine but do not undergo the final hydrolysis. In this way, Carbaryl interfere with the nervous system and cause death.
