rotenone is a selective plant-derived insecticide/acaricide that inhibits glutamate dehydrogenase in nerve and muscle tissue, acting as a contact and gastric poison. The insecticidal spectrum is wide, and it is effective for many kinds of pests, such as Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, ptera, tick and mite. In the light of rotenone easily oxidized to hydrorotenone and lost insecticidal activity. Mainly used for vegetables, fruit trees, tea trees, flowers and other crops to control a variety of aphids, mites, shrimp, melon flies, blue Spodoptera exigua, Spodoptera litura, thrips, yellow stripe jumping nail, yellow gourd, twenty-eight star, tea worms, tea geometrid, can also be used to control health pests, such as mosquitoes, flies, fleas, lice and so on.
