Demeton-S-methyl is an organophosphate insecticide that was widely used in agriculture and horticulture. It is a highly effective insecticide that acts by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is essential for nerve function. This inhibition leads to a buildup of acetylcholine in the synapses, causing paralysis and death in insects. Demeton-S-methyl is highly toxic to humans and animals, and its use has been restricted in many countries due to its environmental and health risks. It is still used in some areas of the world, but its use is declining due to concerns about its safety. Research on demeton-S-methyl is primarily focused on understanding its toxicity, environmental fate, and potential health effects. Studies have also been conducted to develop safer alternatives to this insecticide. Demeton-S-methyl has been the subject of extensive research due to its significant impact on human health and the environment. Understanding its properties and effects is crucial for developing safe and effective pest management strategies.'
