  • Profenophos  is a broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide that is used to control insect pests in cotton, maize, sugar beet, soya bean, potato, vegetables and other crops. Its mode of action is by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity.

  • Technical Profenophos is a pale yellow liquid with a boiling point of 100oC  and a  density of 1.46 g/cm3 at 20oC. Pure Profenophos is an amber-colored oily liquid with a boiling point of 110oC. Profenophos has limited solubility in water (20 ppm), but is completely soluble in organic solvents (ethanol, acetone, toluene, n-octanol, and n-hexane) at 25oC.

  • Profenophos is a racemic mixture of the two optical isomers at
    the chiral phosphorus atom. The S (-) isomer is a markedly more potent inhibitor of acetyl
    cholinesterase in vitro than the R (+) isomer.

  • Profenophos breaks down rapidly in aerobic and anaerobic conditions and dissipates in neutral to alkaline soils with a half-life of several days.

  • Profenophos is not persistent in soil, water or sediment (anaerobic breakdown is slower than aerobic). The mobility of Profenophos in soils is reduced because of its low solubility in water and its affinity for soil organic matter.

  • Profenophos residues are unlikely to leach given adsorption in soil and propensity for organic matter hence reduced bioavailability in soil and water.

  • The acute oral LD50 for Profenophos ranged from 358 to 1178 mg/kg bw in rats. The acute oral LD50 for Profenophos was 298 mg/kg bw in mice and 700 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

  • An insecticide/miticide, Profenophos is a restricted use pesticide used solely on cotton,
    to control the tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm, armyworm, cotton aphid, whiteflies, spider mites, plant bugs, and fleahoppers.

  •  An estimated 85% of all Profenophos is used to control
    lepidopteran species (the worm complex) at varying rates. About 30% of this use is at the
    maximum label rate of one pound active ingredient per acre.

  • Approximately 775,000 pounds of active ingredient are applied to cotton crops each year.

  • Profenophos was of low toxicity on exposure by inhalation, the
    LC50 being > 3.36 mg/L. Profenophos was moderately irritating to skin and mildly irritating to the eye and was shown to be a sensitizer under the conditions of the Magnusson & Kligman test and in the local lymph-node assay.
