Fenothiocarb is a carbamate insecticide that functions by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme critical for terminating nerve impulses in insects. By blocking AChE, it causes accumulation of acetylcholine at synapses, leading to continuous nerve firing, paralysis, and death. Fenothiocarb is primarily used in agriculture for controlling a wide range of pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, and other sucking insects.
