Mechanism of Action

Methomyl belongs to the carbamate insecticide group (IRAC Group 1A) and acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a key enzyme in the insect nervous system.

After exposure:

• Nerve signal transmission is disrupted

• Muscular paralysis occurs rapidly

• Feeding stops immediately

• Pest death follows shortly after exposure

Methomyl works through:

• Contact action

• Stomach action

• Systemic activity

• Translaminar penetration

This multi-mode activity ensures fast and complete pest control.
