Le dichlorvos est un insecticide organophosphoré qui agit sur l'enzyme acétyle-cholinestérase. Cette enzyme joue un rôle important dans le transfert des stimuli dans le système nerveux. [...] Le dichlorvos est agréé pour la lutte contre un grand nombre d'insectes broyeurs et suceurs dans la culture des légumes et des fleurs. En raison de sa forte volatilité, il est idéal pour la pulvérisation en serre. 5, record 1, French, - phosphate%20de%202%2C2%2Ddichlorovinyle%20et%20de%20dim%C3%A9thyle
