Application: |
It is
used for foliar treatment of vegetable, fruit and field crops,
cotton, commercial ornamentals, and in and around poultry houses and
dairies. It is also used as a fly bait. Methomyl is effective in two
ways: (a) as a "contact insecticide," because it kills target
insects upon direct contact, and (b) as a "systemic insecticide"
because of its capability to cause overall "systemic" poisoning in
target insects.
