Introduction
Dicofol 20% EC. Dicofol is an organochlorine pesticide that is chemically related to DDT. Dicofol is a miticide that is very effective against red spider mite.
- Uses:
Dicofol is a non-systemic acaricide with little insecticidal activity, recommended (at 0.50-2.0 kg a.i./ha) for control of many species of phytophagous mite (including Panonychus, Phyllocoptruta, Tetranychus, and Brevipalpus spp.) on a wide range of crops, including fruit, vines, ornamentals, vegetables, and field crops.
Mode of action:
Dicofol is a non-systemic acaricide with contact action.
Formulations:
Dicofol is formulated as emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, dusts, ready-to-use liquids, and aerosol sprays. In many countries, Dicofol is also used in combination with other pesticides such as the organophosphates, methyl parathion , and Dimethoate.
Difference between Dicofol and DDT:
Dicofol is structurally similar to DDT. Dicofol differs from DDT by the replacement of the hydrogen (H) on C-1 by a hydroxyl (OH) functional group. One of the intermediates used in its production is DDT.
