Rotenone Root Extract 5% 40% Function:
Rotenone is a plant-based natural compound with functions such as insecticidal and weed control.
Its efficacy and applications are mainly reflected in the following fields.
1. Highly efficient pest control:
Rotenone By inhibiting NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) in the mitochondrial respiratory chain of insects, it blocks energy metabolism, causing nerve paralysis and asphyxiation death in insects, and has triple effects of contact killing, stomach poisoning and fumigation.
2. Broad insecticidal spectrum:
Rotenone has a remarkable effect on various agricultural pests such as aphids, cabbage worms, leafadas, thrips, red spiders and scale insects, especially on lepidoptera and hemiptera pests.
3. Inhibit weed growth:
Rotenone By interfering with the photosynthesis or energy metabolism of plants, some annual weeds (such as barnyard grass, horse grass, etc.) can be controlled.
4. Kill harmful organisms such as apple snails:
In water areas such as rice fields,Rotenone can be used to eliminate invasive alien species like apple snails and Oncomelania hupensis or intermediate hosts of pests and diseases.
5. Fishery pond cleaning
High-concentration rotenone is highly toxic to fish and was once used in aquaculture for pond cleaning (to kill wild miscellaneous fish, parasites, etc.), but due to its high ecological risk, its application is currently limited.
Rotenone Root Extract 5% 40% Application:
1.Agricultural Field:
Rotenone traditional plant-based insecticide, it is used to control various agricultural pests such as aphids, cabbage worms, leafhoppers and thrips,
and is particularly suitable for pest control of vegetables, fruit trees, tea and other crops. It features low residue and easy degradation.
2.Aquaculture Fishery Field:
Rotenone was once used in aquaculture for pond cleaning and killing wild miscellaneous fish, etc.
However, due to its high toxicity to fish and potential impact on the ecological environment, its use has been restricted in some areas at present.
