How does lambda-cyhalothrin behave in water?

In water, lambda-cyhalothrin is stable and no hydrolysis occurs at a pH below 8.

What is the difference between gamma cyhalothrin and lambda-cyhalothrin?

Lambda-cyhalothrin was one of the six pyrethroid products on the list (ICAMA, 2004). Gamma-cyhalothrin (GCH) is the latest generation pyrethroid insecticide and contains only the active stereoisomer of the two isomers found in lambda-cyhalothrin (LCH) (Fig.

Is lambda-cyhalothrin water soluble?

$ Lambda-cyhalothrin is a colorless to beige solid that has a mild odor. It has a low water solubility (5 x 10-3 mg/L) and is nonvolatile with a vapor pressure of 1.5 x 10-9 mm Hg at 20oC (2, 4).

How long does Lambda insecticide last?

In a field study, lambda-cyhalothrin degraded with a half-life of approximately 9 days (12). $ Lambda-cyhalothrin has a low potential to contaminate ground water due to its low water solubility and high potential to bind to soil (13).
