Carbophenothion is an off-white- to light-amber-coloured liquid with a mild mercaptanlike
odour. It is slightly soluble in water and miscible with many organic solvents such
as hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, and esters. The U.S. EPA has grouped it under RUP.
Carbophenothion is used as a non-systemic insecticide and acaricide used for preharvest
treatments on deciduous, citrus and small fruits, field crops, and vegetables and for
the control of aphids, mites, suckers, and other pests on fruit, nuts, vegetables, sorghum,
and maize.
