Desmedipham is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide of the phenyl carbamate and biscarbamate classes. Carbamate pesticides are derived from carbamic acid and kill insects in a similar fashion as organophosphate insecticides. They are widely used in homes, gardens and agriculture. The first carbamate, carbaryl, was introduced in 1956 and more of it has been used throughout the world than all other carbamates combined. Because of carbaryl's relatively low mammalian oral and dermal toxicity and broad control spectrum, it has had wide use in lawn and garden settings. Most of the carbamates are extremely toxic to Hymenoptera, and precautions must be taken to avoid exposure to foraging bees or parasitic wasps. Some of the carbamates are translocated within plants, making them an effective systemic treatment. Desmedipham was developed by Schering AG and approved for use in the United States in 1970. It is commonly used in beet and strawberry crops to protect against weeds, often in comination with Phenmedipham under the trade names Betanal or Betamax. (L795)
