Malathion is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is non-systemic and used to control sucking and chewing insects on fruits and vegetables. It is a general-use pesticide effective against a wide range of pests, including ants, aphids, fleas, fruit flies, hornets, mites, mosquitoes, moths, spiders, thrips, ticks, wasps, and weevils. Widely used in agriculture, it is applied to crops such as limes, cotton, cherries, garlic, greens, dates, and celery for pest control. Malathion acts through contact, stomach, and respiratory action, providing effective control of Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera pests across various crops.
