About Temephos 50% EC

Temephos 50% EC is an organophosphate insecticide highly effective for controlling mosquito larvae and other disease vectors.

Overview

Temephos 50% EC is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation containing 50% Temephos, an organophosphate compound widely used in public health programs to control mosquito larvae and other arthropod vectors, including cyclops spp., which transmit guinea worm disease (Dracunculiasis) (Heranba Industries, Aristo Biotech). It is recognized for its high larvicidal efficacy and safety for humans and non-target animals, making it suitable for use even in potable water (Katyayani Organics).

Mechanism of Action

Temephos works by inhibiting cholinesterase in mosquito larvae, disrupting their central nervous system, which leads to death before they reach the adult stage (Global Crop Care). This ensures effective population control and reduces the risk of vector-borne diseases.

Dosage and Application

The recommended dosage varies depending on water quality:

Clear water: 2.55 ml per 10 liters of water
Moderately polluted water: 7.510 ml per 10 liters of water
Highly polluted water: 12.520 ml per 10 liters of water (Heranba Industries)

Temephos 50% EC is typically applied in larval habitats such as stagnant water bodies, ponds, and containers where mosquitoes breed. Proper measurement and uniform application are essential for effectiveness.

Highly Effective Larval Control

Temephos 50% EC provides rapid and reliable control of mosquito larvae including vectors of dengue and malaria. Its quick-release mode of action effectively interrupts mosquito breeding cycles, making it an essential tool for public health campaigns. Suitable for use in a wide range of water bodies, from domestic tanks to agricultural reservoirs, this formulation ensures comprehensive larval management.

Easy Application and Versatile Packaging

The product is available in convenient HDPE bottle sizes-1L, 5L, 20L, or customized on request-making it suitable for both large-scale operations and localized interventions. The easy-to-use liquid form dissolves readily with organic solvents and disperses uniformly in water when emulsified, ensuring thorough coverage of treated water surfaces.
