........is a synthetic Pyrethroid insecticide that has both contact and stomach action. It is a non-systemic chemical used to control Cutworms, Ants, Silverfish, Cockroaches, Termites, Grain beetles, Weevils, Mosquitoes, Fleas, Flies, Corn earworms, Tobacco budworms, Codling Moths, European corn borers, Cabbageworms, Loopers, Army worms, Boll weevils, Alfalfa weevils, Colorado Potato beetles, and many others. Its primary agricultural uses have been for control of chewing and sucking insects on crops such as cotton, turf, ornamentals, hops, cereal, corn, deciduous fruit, potatoes, and other vegetables.
.........is also used in public health situations and for Structural Pest Control.
.........is sensitive to breakdown by sunlight. On the surface of soils, its half-life is 48-72 hours. It has a half-life of 56-63 days in German loam and sandy loam soils, respectively, and has similar persistence in soils under conditions of low oxygen (anaerobic). Cyfluthrin is very immobile in soils, and is not considered a threat to contaminate groundwater. The primary breakdown products of CYFLUTHRIN are Carbon Dioxide and 4-fluoro-3-phenyl-benzaldehyde (a compound of considerably lower toxicity than the parent compound).
........breaks down quickly in surface water. Because it is relatively non-soluble, and less dense than water it will float on the surface film of natural waters. At the surface, it is subject to breakdown by exposure to sunlight (1 day). It is stable to breakdown by water at acidic pH, and quickly hydrolyzed in water that is alkaline/basic.
........is of low toxicity to upland game birds and waterfowl, but is highly toxic to marine and freshwater organisms; and highly toxic to Bees.
........is the active ingredient in many insecticide products including Attatox, Baythroid, Bulldock, Ciflutrina, Contur, Cyfoxylate, Eulan SP, FCR 1272, Laser, Responsar, Solfac, Tempo and Tugon - depending on how, when, where. and by whom formulated and /or sold.
