-
Fenthion (O,O-dimethyl
O-4-methylthio-mtolylphosphorothioate ) is a broad spectrum
organophosphorus (OP) insecticide.
-
Fenthion is used to
control pest insects in agricultural, commercial and domestic situations
and external parasites on cattle.
-
It was used extensively
preharvest on sugar cane, rice, field corn, beets, pome and stone
fruits, citrus fruits, pistachio, cotton, olives, coffee, cocoa,
vegetables, and vines.
-
It is effective as an
insecticide, it is also moderately toxic to mammals, and highly toxic to
birds.
-
Based on its high
toxicity to birds, fenthion is used in various parts of the world for
weaver bird control.
-
Fenthion is moderately
toxic via the oral route, with reported oral LD50 values of 180 to 298
mg/kg in rats, 150 mg/kg in rabbits, and 88 to 145 mg/kg in mice.
-
In animals, fenthion is
quickly absorbed into the bloodstream through the digestive tract,
lungs, and skin, and is systemically distributed. It is eliminated
through the urine and the feces. A single dose of the insecticide has
prolonged action, suggesting that much of it is stored in body fat and
later released for metabolism.
-
Fenthion is used as a
paint strip 5 cm wide to 10 per cent of favoured roost areas of pigeons,
starlings, sparrows and the Indian mynah in industrial and commercial
premises.
-
Fenthion is of moderate
persistence in soil, with an average field half-life of 34 days under
most conditions . In soil, residues of fenthion may persist for
approximately 4 to 6 weeks. It adsorbs fairly strongly to soil
particles, and so is not likely to move (or leach) through the soil.
-
In one study of its
persistence in water, 50% of applied fenthion remained in river water 2
weeks later, while 10% remained after 4 weeks. It is more rapidly
degraded under alkaline conditions.
-
EPA has made fenthion a
restricted use pesticide, for use only by certified applicators or those
under their supervision, and has imposed a 24- hour reentry period for
unprotected workers in treated ornamentals. |
