Phosacetim is an organophosphorus compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural settings. It works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an essential enzyme for nerve function, leading to overstimulation of the nervous system in pests. This causes paralysis and death in targeted insects and mites. Due to its neurotoxic mechanism, careful handling and application are required to minimize risks to humans and non-target organisms.
