Metabolism of the acaricide chemical, fenazaflor(5,6-dichloro-1-phenoxycarbonyl-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole) in certain mammals, insects, and plants

“…(5,6-dichloro-1 -phenoxycarbonyl-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole, formerly known as fenoflurazole and NC 5016) is a nonsystemic acaricide chemical with outstanding residual activity in controlling all stages of phytophagous mites, including the eggs, and for the control of strains resistant to organophosphates (Saggers and Clark, 1967). Although its water solubility is low (less than 1 p.p.m.…”
