Documented Uses

• Used as systemic insecticide and acaricide for cotton, vegetables, fruits, and field crops; [HSDB]
• Systemic insecticide, acaricide, effective control by contact and systemic action of many destructive pests that attack certain vegetable, fruit and field crops. Primarily for aphids, mites, thrips, leafhoppers, and other sucking pests.
• Oxidation of o,o-dimethyl-s-(2-(ethylthio)ethyl) phosphorothioate
• Produced by oxidation of demeton-s-methyl...with hydrogen peroxide (West German patent 947,368) or with chlorine or bromine (West German patent 949,229)...
• About 30% as an insecticide or acaricide on cotton; about 30% as an insecticide or acaricide on deciduous fruits and nuts; and about 30% as an insecticide or acaricide on vegetables; and about 10% as an insecticide or acaricide on other field crops (1974)
• Introduced by Bayer AG...as code numbers Bayer 21097, R 2170, trade mark metasystox-r; oxydemeton-methyl is a systemic and contact insecticide suitable for control of sap-feeding insects and mites, with range of action similar to that of demeton-s-methyl of which it is metabolic product.
