Dioxation is an organophosphorous insecticide. It is a narrow-spectrum insecticide and acaricide with long residual effectiveness. The technical product is a mixture of cis and trans isomers and the oxygen analog of dioxation is relatively unstable. Dioxation is used as a spray to control mites on cotton, grapes, citrus, ornamentals, and certain other fruits including apples, pears, and quinces; and as a spray or dip on cattle, goats, sheep, and hogs for control of ticks, lice, horn flies, and sheep ked. Dietary administration of dioxation was not carcinogenic in Osborne-Mendel rats or B6C3F1 mice. Dioxation has moderate to extreme acute toxicity in mammal species tested and is moderately toxic to birds.
