Technical Content
-
Ethion (40%): An organophosphate insecticide with contact and stomach action. It inhibits acetylcholinesterase, leading to paralysis and death of insects.

-
Ethion: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve impulse transmission. This leads to a buildup of acetylcholine, causing paralysis and death of the insect.
