Methomyl was first marketed in 1968
Translocated acropetally in the xylem leads to longer lasting protection by controlling most of the stages of the pest.
Methomyl’s neurotoxic action inhibits acetylcholinesterase by covalently binding to the enzyme at the acetylcholine site, blocking acetylcholine hydrolysis, which causes hyperexcitation, paralysis, and ultimately death in insects.
Non phytotoxic when used as recommended, except to some varieties of apples. Acute oral Mammalian Toxicity (LD50, mg/kg) rats: 17-32 mg/Kg (69-128mg/kg as 25% w/w). Acute skin Toxicity (LD50, mg/kg) rats: >2000mg/kg (>5000mg/kg as 25% w/w).

METHO Insecticide is registered for Heliothis and Loopers control in Cotton, with a staged pre-squaring, squaring and boll maturing spray programme.

Critical Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Heliothis (Ovicide/Larvicide) | QLD, NSW & WA only | 500ml OR 1L/ha | Nil (H) DO NOT graze or feed treated crops to animals |
Avoid contact with spray residue. Keep unprotected persons out of treated areas for at least 24hrs. Check crops every 2-3 days for egg and larval numbers. Pre-squaring: Initiate sprays when significant number of eggs are present (75 eggs per 100 plants). Continue at 4-5 day intervals while egg numbers are above these levels and larvae control is adequate. Add an effective larvicide at registered rates if significant numbers of small larvae (20 per 100 plants) are present. Squaring/Boll maturing: Continue above schedule when 50 eggs or more per 100 plant terminals are found. Add an effective larvicide if significant numbers of small larvae (10 per 100 terminals) are present. If large larvae survive or Heliothis armigera becomes predominant, use higher rates or add other effective larvicides. Refer to appropriate larvicide labels for directions for use. Use higher rate at peak egg laying and when 1st to 2nd instar larvae predominate. Good spray coverage is essential to assure good ovicidal activity. NOTE: Methomyl may cause reddening of foliage. If excessive, discontinue use. |
| Heliothis (Larvicide) | QLD, NSW & WA only | 1.8L to 2.4L/ha | Larvicide: Apply as an occasional treatment in a spray programme based on alternative insecticides. Do not use more often than every 14 days during active growth stages of the crop, or alternatively apply up to 3 treatments at a minimum of 3 day intervals between treatments after the boll load is set. Do not use during periods of plant stress. NOTE: Methomyl may cause reddening of foliage. If excessive, discontinue use. |
