(Also known as: CM-001 ; CAL 97I1 18)

SUMMARY

Chromafenozide is an insecticide used to control a range of pests on fruit and other crops. It has a very low aqueous solubility and is volatile. It is persistent in soil systems and may also be persistent in aquatic systems under certain conditions. It has a low mammalian toxicity and no significant health effects have been identified. It is moderately toxic to aquatic life but has a low toxicity to honeybees and earthworms.
