NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading supplier of high-quality raw materials for various industries, including the agricultural and horticultural sectors. Among our comprehensive product portfolio, Rotenone Powder and Rotenone Liquid stand out as key offerings derived from natural sources, providing effective solutions for pest management.

Rotenone, extracted from the roots of plants like Derris Trifoliata, is recognized globally as a potent botanical insecticide. For centuries, indigenous communities have utilized extracts from these plants for their insecticidal properties. Today, refined and standardized forms of Rotenone, such as those supplied by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., offer reliable performance in controlling a wide range of agricultural and ornamental pests.

The chemical identity of Rotenone is well-established, identified by CAS number 83-79-4. It possesses a molecular mass of approximately 394.41 and typically appears as a brown to off-white powder, depending on the specification. It exhibits a melting point around 165-166°C and shows good solubility in organic solvents like ether and acetone, with slight solubility in ethanol. These physical and chemical characteristics are critical for formulators creating effective pest control products.

The efficacy of Rotenone as a pesticide stems from its mechanism of action, primarily affecting cellular respiration in insects. It acts as a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, disrupting the energy production process within the insect's cells. This disruption leads to physiological paralysis and ultimately death. While it acts as a contact poison, it also exhibits stomach poison activity, making it effective when ingested by pests feeding on treated foliage. This dual mode of action helps in achieving comprehensive control against various insect types.

Rotenone is particularly effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests that plague crops and ornamental plants. These include common garden pests like aster beetles, aphids, cabbage loopers, and cucumber beetles. It is also known to control adult Japanese beetles and various other listed insects, including numerous species of lepidopteran larvae (caterpillars) and certain beetles. Its application extends across diverse environments, commonly used on vegetables, roses, and other ornamentals, as well as significant agricultural crops like tea leaf, mulberry, various fruit trees, and tobacco. The versatility of Rotenone makes it a valuable tool in managing complex pest populations in different agricultural settings.

One of the significant advantages highlighted for Rotenone, especially in the context of environmentally conscious pest management, is its rapid environmental degradation. Unlike many synthetic pesticides that can persist in the environment for extended periods, Rotenone breaks down relatively quickly when exposed to sunlight, air, and soil microorganisms. This rapid decomposition minimizes the risk of long-term environmental residue, contributing to its status as a more sustainable option in certain applications. This quick breakdown also means minimal harmful residue on treated crops, which is a crucial factor for food safety and marketability.

Furthermore, the use of botanical insecticides like Rotenone can play a role in resistance management strategies. Insects develop resistance to synthetic pesticides over time due to their often singular mode of action. Botanical extracts, with their complex mixtures of compounds or distinct mechanisms, can offer alternatives or be used in rotation programs to help prevent or delay the onset of resistance, preserving the efficacy of other pest control tools.

The material from which Rotenone is extracted is often referred to as a "pure green environmental protection biology agrochemical." This designation reflects its natural origin and its profile of rapid environmental fate. While all pesticides must be used responsibly and according to label instructions due to potential toxicity to non-target organisms (notably, it is highly toxic to fish by inhibiting cellular respiration in aquatic environments, which means its use near water bodies requires extreme caution), its benefits in specific terrestrial applications, combined with its rapid degradation, make it a preferred choice for certain growers.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies Rotenone in various standardized specifications to meet diverse formulation needs. Common specifications include 10%, 40%, and high-purity 98% forms.
