Fenpropathrin CAS(39515-41-8) C22H23NO3 is a pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide supplied by Red Sun. It is moderately toxic, acting through contact, stomach poisoning, and repellent effects, while lacking systemic and fumigant properties.
The pure substance appears as a white crystalline solid, while the technical material is a brownish-yellow liquid or solid. Fenpropathrin is broadly applied on crops such as apples, citrus, litchi, peaches, chestnuts, cotton, tea, cruciferous vegetables, cucurbits, and ornamental plants. It is mainly used to control mites, leafminers, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, bollworms, armyworms, leafhoppers, and various caterpillars. Widely adopted in fruit trees, vegetables, cotton, and tea, it plays a key role in pest and mite management.

Fenpropathrin CAS(39515-41-8) C22H23NO3 is a pyrethroid pesticide from Red Sun. It targets the insect nervous system by binding to sodium ion channels. The delayed channel closure leads to continuous excitation, causing paralysis and death of pests.
This agrochemical provides strong contact and stomach action in crop protection. It delivers fast knockdown and residual control for 7–14 days. Fenpropathrin is effective against mites, caterpillars, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and other key pests in fruit trees, vegetables, cotton, and tea.
Red Sun provides Fenpropathrin as a crop protection pesticide. The following points summarize its key features and use conditions.
Fenpropathrin shows best results when applied at egg stage, hatching stage, or early larval stage. Spraying during these periods improves pest and mite control.
The product is commonly used as 20% emulsifiable concentrate, 20% emulsion, or 20% wettable powder at 1500–2000 dilution. It can also be used as 10–20% concentrate or microemulsion at 800–1000 dilution. Even spraying is important, with focus on the lower and inner canopy of fruit trees.
For better performance, it should be rotated or mixed with insecticides of different classes such as organophosphates and organochlorines. This reduces the risk of resistance development in pest populations.
Fenpropathrin performs more effectively at lower temperatures and provides longer residual action. It is especially suitable for use in early spring and in autumn–winter conditions.
The pre-harvest interval is 21 days for cotton and 14 days for apples. Observing these intervals ensures food safety in agricultural production.
Fenpropathrin is highly toxic to fish, silkworms, and bees. It must not be applied in mulberry fields, beekeeping areas, or near water bodies to prevent contamination.
Fenpropathrin is applied to control codling moth and spider mites in apple orchards. It provides dual action against insects and mites in one spray program.
The product manages leafminers and aphids in citrus trees. It also controls spider mites, supporting healthy leaf and fruit development.
Fenpropathrin is used in cruciferous crops to control diamondback moth and cabbage caterpillar. It helps maintain quality in leafy vegetables.
The product controls cotton bollworm and can also be applied in tea and other fruit crops. It is effective where insects and mites occur together.
Fenpropathrin is a neurotoxic pyrethroid pesticide. It provides broad insect and mite control but requires careful safety practices during use and handling.
Wear protective clothing, gloves, and mask during spraying. Avoid inhalation and skin contact to reduce exposure risks.
The product is highly toxic to fish, bees, and silkworms. Do not spray near water bodies, mulberry fields, or beekeeping areas.
Apply at early pest stages for best results. Do not exceed recommended doses or spray frequency. Follow local safety regulations.
Store in a cool, dry, locked place away from food. Dispose of containers safely according to agricultural chemical guidelines.
