dehloran

Dehloran is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C18H18Cl2N2O2. It is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, a class of pesticides known for their effectiveness against a wide range of insects. Dehloran was developed in the 1970s and is used primarily in agriculture to control pests in crops such as cotton, corn, and soybeans. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Dehloran is considered to have a moderate level of toxicity to humans and other non-target organisms, and its use is regulated by environmental and health authorities to minimize potential risks. The compound is typically applied as a spray or dust, and its effectiveness can vary depending on factors such as weather conditions and the specific pest species. Like other synthetic pyrethroids, dehloran has been the subject of ongoing research and debate regarding its environmental impact and potential alternatives.
