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.

Overview | Rotenone (Rotenone) and Rotenone compounds are derived from the leguminous plants of the genus rotenum, A class of selective insecticidal active substances extracted from plants such as synbiotic genus, caulis spatholobi, poisonous fish bean and sphenoid, which can inhibit nerve tissue and muscle tissue, in which rotenone is the most toxic. The resources of rotenone are very rich. At present, it has been found that 68 legumes contain rotenone, and more than 74 kinds of rotenone compounds. The genus rotenone is found in tropical and subtropical regions and grows widely in Southeast Asia. In South China, such as Guizhou, it is rich in wild and cultivated rotenone resources. rotenone is unstable in nature, and is easy to be degraded by oxidation and photolysis. In general, its toxic components 5 a decomposition of 6 days, and the Sunshine of the summer, only 2 a 3 days. Rotenone is also easily degraded in soil and water. The half-life is only 3 A 1 days. Because rotenone has a short half-life, is easy to decompose and does not pollute the environment, it is widely used in crop pest management and fish pond cleaning all over the world. It is regarded as a natural low toxicity and efficient insecticide. |
mechanism of action | early studies have shown that the mechanism of action of rotenone is mainly to affect the respiration of insects, it mainly interacts with a component between NADH dehydrogenase and coenzyme Q. Rotenone inhibits the electron transport chain of the pest cell, thereby reducing the level of ATP in the organism, ultimately leaving the pest without energy supply, and then the action is delayed, paralysis and slow death. Mitochondria, NADH dehydrogenase, succinic acid, mannitol and other substances in many biological cells have some sensitivity to rotenone. Electron transport from NADPH to NADH in setatria cervi mitochondria is highly inhibited by rotenone. Also, the activity of the fumarate reductase system in the mitochondrial granules of the filarial parasite Setaria digitata is sensitive to rotenone. Rotenone and salicylhydroxamic acid can inhibit the electromotive force (EMT) of mitochondrial inner membrane of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, thus indirectly affecting the activity of NADH dehydrogenase; rotenone can also inhibit the activity of NADH to cytochrome C and NADH to coenzyme Q reductase in mitochondrial respiratory chain of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, and the inhibition rate is as high as 80% ~ 90%. Rotenone can inhibit the synthesis of mannitol in Cryptococcusneoformans cells, which may affect the activity of mannitol synthase, thus indirectly affecting the organism. |
Application | in recent years, the use of rotenone products showed an increasing trend year by year, among these products, 2.5%, 7.5% rotenone EC, 3.5% hypertonic rotenone EC, 5% pyrethrins • rotenone EC (pyrethrins + rotenone), 18% octanoic (phoxim + rotenone) and 1.3% Cyanogen · rotenum (fenvalerate + rotenone) for the control of aphids on cruciferous vegetables and tomatoes; 0.2% matrine aqueous + 1.8% rotenone emulsion tank mixture, 25% F. Rotenum (trichlorfon + rotenone), 1.3% F. F. (fenvalerate + rotenone) and 2.5% C. F. (fenvalerate + rotenone) are used to control rapeseed worm (Pierce rapae),7.5% Cyanogen • fish oil (fenvalerate + rotenone) and 1.8% avermectin • fish oil (abamectin + rotenone) for the control of diamondback moth (Plutella xylosterella),25% amine for the control of prynaspis yanonia on citrus, 21% sinomenine EC (Phoxim + rotenone) control of cotton on the cotton bollworm (heliothiazea). These products are mainly used as materials, most of which are complex products, and the control area is up to tens of millions of ha. Studies have shown that rotenone and other chemical or biological pesticides mixed with high efficiency, low toxicity, can effectively delay the resistance of pests, reduce environmental pollution, but also stimulate plant growth, no killing effect on natural enemies, it is conducive to promoting ecological balance. |
shrimp pond using technology | 1. Shrimp culture with 4% rotenone cream cleaning pond: rotenone 0.025mg/L can be used to poison the fish, while the shrimp can survive in 10mg/L of rotenone solution. Rotenone has a large area of destructive effects on fish and other organisms, so it is suitable for the culture of shrimp and other shrimp. The pond can be cleaned with 667m2 water surface and 1 m water depth. Rotenone can also be used as a capper with the catch of ornamental fish. 2, catch ornamental fish: many kinds of fish in the lethal concentration of rotenone solution (0.025mg/L) will quickly float on the water surface, at this time, if they are transferred to the methylene salt solution of 5-10mg/L concentration in time, these fish will immediately recover their vitality. The application of Rotenone can capture high-quality ornamental fish, this method is mainly used in some scientific research and academic research. 3, 5-7% rotenda root powder pond: 667m2 water surface 1 m deep without cubic meter with 6-8 grams of root powder. |
toxicity and health hazards | rotenone has strong neurotoxicity, which can cause convulsion after high dose ingestion, Coma, heart, liver, kidney and other organ failure. Rotenone is a medium toxicity, toxic to fish, the lethal dose of fish to human is 3.6~20g. Therefore, the user should be scientific and rational drug use, safety protection. In addition, a large number of medical studies have found that rotenone is cytotoxic and can inhibit the utilization of oxygen by the cell respiratory chain. Long-term low-dose injection can lead to the emergence of typical Lewy bodies in rat brain dopamine (DA) neurons, and there will be similar symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The stability of rotenone is poor and the duration of action is short, so people do not have the opportunity to contact for a long period of time. |
note | rotenone should not be used in combination with alkaline agents. This agent is highly toxic to domestic animals, fish and Silkworm. It is necessary to avoid the drift of the drug solution to the nearby pool and Mulberry. Red water in Liao A is easy to decompose, should be used with; Should be stored in A cool, dark place, avoid high temperature, exposure, away from fire. The safe harvest interval of cruciferous vegetables was 3 days. |
Use | used as an agricultural insecticide, also for controlling human and animal ectoparasites and for biochemical research. inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport |
production method | 1.
