Insecticide Pesticide & Acaricide & Nematicide Oxamyl 95% TCOxamyl is a carbamate pesticide currently approved for use in the EU. It is highly soluble in water, has a low volatility and may have the capacity to leach to groundwater. It is not expected to be persistent in soil or water systems. It is highly toxic to mammals, is a cholinesterase inhibitor and a neurotoxicant. Oxamyl is not expectd to accumulate in soils. It demonstrates a moderate to high level of toxicity to most biodiversity.
