Uses
Triazamate is used for the control of aphids by foliar application
on a wide variety of crops. It is suitable for inclusion in integrated pest
management because it is minimally toxic to beneficial insects.
Uses
Triazamate is used in controlling unpleasant pests.Used in preparation of Thiazole Manganese Zinc compounds and compounds thereof.
Definition
ChEBI: A triazole insecticide that is 1H-1,2,4-triazole which is substituted at positions 1, 3, and 5 by N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl, tert-butyl, and (2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)sulfanediyl groups, resp
ctively.
General Description
Triazamate is a carbamoyl triazole compound, widely used as an insecticide and its mode of action involves the inhibition of cholinesterase in insect pests.
Metabolic pathway
There is only a limited amount of information on the fate of triazamate
currently in the public domain. Metabolism in sugar beet and apple has
been reported. Animal metabolism studies have been conducted but
details are not available. Triazamate is very rapidly metabolised by
hydrolysis, decarbamoylation and further metabolism in all biological
systems studied (PM).
Degradation
Triazamate is stable under normal conditions and in solution at pH 7
and below. Its DT50 values in buffers are, at pH 5, 7 and 9, 220 days,
49 hours and 1 hour, respectively (PM). Base-catalysed hydrolysis should
initially afford triazamate acid (2) by carboxyl ester cleavage (see
Scheme 1).
The DTM of triazamate on aqueous photolysis at pH 7 is 301 days
(PM)
