Iodofenphos

Iodofenphos (CAS 18181-70-9), also marketed under the trade names Alfacron, Iodophos, and Nuvanol N, is an organophosphate insecticide developed for pest control in agricultural and veterinary settings. It acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase in target insects, making it effective against a broad range of economically damaging pest species. In crop protection, it is applied to control soil-dwelling and foliar insect pests.

These pests often threaten yields in field and horticultural crops. It has been used in veterinary and livestock applications to manage ectoparasites such as flies, lice, and mites on cattle and other farm animals. Public health and stored-product programs have employed it to control crawling insects and flies in grain storage and agricultural facilities. Formulated products have also been used in structural pest control.

These applications target cockroaches and other indoor insect pests in agricultural premises. The chemical is available as a technical-grade active ingredient and in various formulated forms for industrial use. Common formulations include emulsifiable concentrates and wettable powders. Supply is primarily sourced through agrochemical manufacturers and distributors handling specialized organophosphate chemistry for global markets.

Buyers should verify current registration status in their target market, as regulatory approvals for this active substance vary significantly by country. Ensure all materials meet required safety and handling protocols.
