Sign in to saveAlso known as S-[(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl] O,O-dimethyl dithiophosphate, Decemthion, O,O-Dimethyl phthalimidomethyl phosphorodithioate, S-((1,3-Dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl)phosphorodithioic acid O,O-dimethyl ester, Fosmet, O,O-Dimethyl S-(phthalimidomethyl) dithiophosphate, O,O-Dimethyl S-phthalimidomethyl phosphorodithioate, PMP
Phosmet is a phthalimide-derived, non-systemic, organophosphate insecticide used on plants and animals. It is mainly used on apple trees for control of codling moth, though it is also used on a wide range of fruit crops, ornamentals, and vines for the control of aphids, suckers, mites, and fruit flies.

Phosmet is a phthalimide-derived, non-systemic, organophosphate insecticide used on plants and animals. It is mainly used on apple trees for control of codling moth, though it is also used on a wide range of fruit crops, ornamentals, and vines for the control of aphids, suckers, mites, and fruit flies.
== History == The first registered use of phosmet was in the United States in 1966, where it was used on a variety of crops including fruit trees (apple, pear, peach) and nut trees (almonds, walnuts) as a treatment for various pests such as the codling moth, leafrollers, and others. It has also been registered for use on cattle, swine, and dogs for treatment of lice, fleas, and ticks. It can also be used domestically for trees, bushes, and shrubs by homeowners. Phosmet is being used all over the world.
