Mode of Action

• Like other organophosphates, fenitrothion inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the insect nervous system. This inhibition leads to accumulation of acetylcholine at nerve synapses, causing continuous nerve stimulation, paralysis, and death.
• Contact action: Penetrates the insect cuticle and disrupts the nervous system.
• Stomach action: Ingested through feeding on treated leaves or fruits, causing poisoning.
• Fumigant action: In hot and enclosed conditions, vapors can affect insects.
