    Product Description

    Aldicarb is a carbamate pesticide.1 It is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 5 µM.2 Aldicarb induces mortality in the two-spotted spider mite (T. urticae) with an LC50 value of 21 ppm in a slide-dip assay and in the nematode (M. exigua) with an LC50 value of 24 µg/l.3,4 It has been used to study CREB and acetylcholine signaling.5 Formulations containing aldicarb have been used as pesticides in agriculture.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
