APPLICATIONS 
Biochemistry Cholinesterase inhibitor. The separate optical isomers, due to the chiral phosphorus atom, show different types of insecticidal activity and ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (H. Leader & J. E. Casida, J. Agric. Food Chem., 1982, 30, 546). Mode of action Non-systemic insecticide and acaricide with contact and stomach action.
