Pure dicofol is available as a white or gray powder or colorless solid crystals while the technical dicofol is a red-brown or amber viscous liquid with an odor like fresh-cut hay. Dicofol undergoes decomposition on burning or on contact with acids, acid fumes or bases, producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride. Dicofol is a persistent OCP used as an acaricide and miticide. It is structurally similar to DDT. Dicofol is combustible and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is soluble in most aliphatic and aromatic solvents and most common organic solvents, but practically insoluble in water and hydrolyzes in basic solution. It is used on a wide variety of fruit, vegetables, ornamental and fi eld crops. Dicofol is manufactured from DDT. Dicofol is corrosive to some metals. It is used for foliar applications, mostly on cotton, apples, and citrus crops. Other crops include strawberries, mint, beans, peppers, tomatoes, pecans, walnuts, stonefruit, cucurbits, and non-residential lawns/ornamentals.
