Methomyl 225 is a broad-spectrum insecticide formulated for the control of a wide range of insect pests in agricultural crops. It is a liquid concentrate containing 225 g/L methomyl, a carbamate insecticide that acts quickly through contact and ingestion. Methomyl works by inhibiting cholinesterase in insects, disrupting normal nerve function and resulting in rapid paralysis and death.
