Pyrethrum extract
Pyrethrum extract (CAS: 8003-34-7) is a natural insecticide derived from chrysanthemum flowers. This complex mixture, primarily composed of pyrethrins, acts as a potent neurotoxin to insects by disrupting their nervous systems. It is widely recognised for its rapid knockdown effect and low mammalian toxicity, making it a valuable active ingredient in pest control formulations for domestic, agricultural, and public health applications.
Insecticide Formulations
Used as a primary active ingredient in the formulation of insecticides for household, agricultural, and public health use. Its natural origin and efficacy make it a preferred choice for integrated pest management strategies.
Agricultural Pest Control
Applied to control a broad spectrum of insect pests on crops, offering a rapid knockdown effect. It is often used in organic farming practices due to its natural derivation.
Veterinary Ectoparasiticides
Incorporated into products designed to control external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and lice on animals. Its relatively low toxicity to mammals is advantageous in these applications.
Research and Development
Utilised in biological and entomological research, particularly in studies concerning ion channels and sodium channel modulation. It serves as a valuable tool for understanding neurotoxic mechanisms in insects.
