Once in the body, aldicarb is broken down into aldicarb sulfone and aldicarb sulfoxide. (wikipedia.org)
Aldicarb sulfone is a groundwater contaminant and a neurotoxic metabolite of the insecticide aldicarb used on agricultural crops. (ewg.org)
Pesticide11
Aldicarb is a carbamate insecticide which is the active substance in the pesticide Temik. (wikipedia.org)
In the United States, aldicarb was approved by the EPA for use by professional pesticide applicators on a variety of crops, including cotton, beans, and others. (wikipedia.org)
The EPA started limiting the main aldicarb pesticide, Temik 15G, in 2010, requiring an end to distribution by 2017. (wikipedia.org)
A new aldicarb pesticide named AgLogic 15G, was approved by the EPA in December 2011 and is said to be entering the market in 2015. (wikipedia.org)
In July 1985, aldicarb present in watermelons grown in California caused an outbreak of pesticide food poisoning which affected over 2,000 people, and led to a temporary ban on watermelon sales. (wikipedia.org)
Laboratory analysis indicated that the product contained the carbamate pesticide aldicarb (2-methyl-2-(methylthio)-propionaldehyde O-(methylcarbamoyl) oxime), which is not registered for use as a rodenticide in the United States. (cdc.gov)
Though the ruling was bad news for AgLogic and citrus growers who want to use aldicarb, it was a victory for environmentalists, farmworkers and others concerned about possible exposure to the toxic pesticide. (wfsu.org)

EPA yesterday rejected health concerns raised by environmental groups in approving expanded use of the pesticide aldicarb on citrus in Florida, which the agency said could help fight citrus-greening disease. (eenews.net)
The approval stands to be one of the agency's last pesticide approvals under the Trump administration, and it arrived quickly: The public comment period on the aldicarb proposal ended only a week earlier. (eenews.net)
They found the pesticide aldicarb, approved to be used only on cotton, peanuts, roses, and sweet potatoes was also used for ginger. (izismile.com)
Insecticide aldicarb2
Aldicarb sulfoxide is a groundwater contaminant related to the neurotoxic insecticide aldicarb. (ewg.org)

Methomyl1
Aldicarb and methomyl are examples of the oxime type (Figure 5). (shabupc.com)
Pesticides1
The EPA's Pesticides category lists many familiar poisons such as Aldicarb, Chlordane, Heptachlor, and Lindane. (purewatergazette.net)
Oxamyl1
In the second experiment aldicarb applied in the furrow at planting, modified in the furrow at planting or in the furrow at planting, in combination with foliar applications of oxamyl, resulted in the lowest incidence of corky ringspot disease and had the highest total and marketable yields. (flvc.org)
AgLogic2
AgLogic, the company that makes aldicarb, issued a statement following the court's decision but didn't specify whether it would seek an appeal. (wfsu.org)
AgLogic, the company that applied for the new aldicarb registration, had initially sought to sell it in Texas as well but amended its application during the review period to limit use to Florida, EPA said. (eenews.net)
100,000 acres2
In January, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registered aldicarb for use on 100,000 acres of citrus crops across the state. (wfsu.org)
In a final decision published in the Federal Register , EPA said it would impose restrictions on aldicarb, including limiting its use to 100,000 acres in Florida only, and capping sales and distribution at 2.5 million pounds. (eenews.net)
Insecticides1
Aldicarb is effective where resistance to organophosphate insecticides has developed, and is extremely important in potato production, where it is used for the control of soil-borne nematodes and some foliar pests. (wikipedia.org)
Heptachlor1
There was heptachlor, linked to leukemia, and aldicarb , which poisoned thousands of California watermelons, yet is still allowed in potatoes and bananas at levels exposing up to 80,000 children a day to what EPA itself says are unacceptable high risks. (greatsayings.net)
EPA's2
Three groups filed a legal challenge in March to the EPA's registration of aldicarb. (wfsu.org)
The court found the EPA's registration of aldicarb for use on citrus groves violated the Endangered Species Act because the agency failed to consider the pesticide's threat to wildlife. (wfsu.org)
Concentrations2
needs update] Tres Pasitos, a mouse, rat, and roach killer that contains high concentrations of aldicarb, has been illegally imported into the United States from Mexico and other Latin American countries. (wikipedia.org)
Aldicarb concentrations (ppm) at three compliance wells (four monthly samples at each well). (r-project.org)
Symptoms2
Most commonly, aldicarb causes toxic symptoms when it is ingested through food that has been tainted with the insecticide. (wikipedia.org)
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control finds too much exposure to aldicarb may cause acute symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and headache. (wfsu.org)
Citrus1
Aldicarb hasn't been sprayed on the state's citrus in nearly a decade. (wfsu.org)
Groundwater1
In August 1979, groundwater wells in Suffolk County, NY were contaminated with aldicarb residue due to irrigated potato fields nearby. (wikipedia.org)
Peanuts1
The company emphasized its commitment to safety and highlight the fact that aldicarb is authorized for use on peanuts and cotton. (wfsu.org)
Birds1
According to witnesses, the individual believed to have poisoned the cranes also made statements that he had used aldicarb to poison the birds. (iol.co.za)
Potato2
Two experiments were conducted in a potato field to study the efficacy of placements of aldicarb for the control of corky ring spot disease and yield of potato. (flvc.org)
In the first experiment different placements of aldicarb significantly increased total and marketable yield of potato compared to the untreated check. (flvc.org)
Wells1
Of the approximately 8,400 wells tested, 13.5% contained more than 7 ug/L of aldicarb, which exceeds standard guidelines. (wikipedia.org)
Effective2
Aldicarb applied as front of the planter shoe at planting or imidacloprid applied in furrow at planting were less effective than other placements of aldicarb. (flvc.org)
Aldicarb can be effective against the pest, although it's mainly used against nematodes, according to EPA and agriculture organizations. (eenews.net)
Samples1
Verdoorn, however, said on Tuesday that due to the limited samples that were available to the Nama Karoo Foundation (NKF), who requested support with the investigation from the Griffon Poison Information Centre, it was not yet possible to ascertain whether aldicarb was also used to poison the cranes.
