Applications:
The development of the Carbaryl Insecticides has been called a major breakthrough in pesticides. Carbaryl do not have the persistence of chlorinated pesticides. Although toxic to insects, Carbaryl is detoxified and eliminated rapidly in vertebrates. Carbaryl is neither concentrated in fat nor secreted in the milk. For the latter reasons, Carbaryl is favored for food crops.

Biochemistry:
Carbaryl(Sevin) Insecticides are reversible inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Carbaryl resemble acetylcholine but do not undergo the final hydrolysis. In this way, Carbaryl interfere with the nervous system and cause death.
