What is a Methamidophos (C₄H₁₁NOS)?

Methamidophos (C₄H₁₁NOS) is an organophosphorus pesticide commonly used to control pests in agriculture. It is a colorless or pale yellow liquid with high toxicity. Methamidophos acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve function, thus affecting the nervous system of pests and causing their death.

Methamidophos is used in agriculture and horticulture for pest management, but due to its toxicity, it must be handled with care. Proper safety precautions are required when using it to prevent contamination of water sources and minimize harm to wildlife. In some countries, the use of methamidophos is restricted or banned due to its environmental and health risks.
