Chlorpyrifos ( O , O -diethyl O -(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl) phosphorothioate;
CAS No. 2921-88-2) is a widely used organophosphorus insecticide that is impor-
tant for the control of a large number of insect pests of crops. Applications are
made to soil or foliage and can occur pre-plant, at-plant, post-plant, or during the
dormant season.
