How It Works: Mode of Action
Malathion disrupts normal insect nerve signalling by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.
- Pest identification: Match rice hispa or cabbage mustard aphid to the current crop label.
- Nerve enzyme is inhibited: Malathion interferes with acetylcholinesterase.
- Normal insect function is disrupted: The affected nerve system impairs susceptible pests; this does not make it suitable for household or animal treatment.
Use the stated mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
Historical formulation reference only: the table below is based on the September 2025 CIBRC major-use compilation. It is not a complete current Milthion label or an independent instruction to apply. Confirm every value against the supplied pack before use.
Qualified formulation rates and waiting periods
| Crop / programme | Product rate | Water / acre* | Tank dose | Reference PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy / cabbage | Current pack | 202–405 L | Not supplied | Not stated |
Historical formulation reference for paddy rice hispa and cabbage mustard aphid: 500–1000 L water/ha, approximately 202–405 L/acre. A harvest interval is not stated. Neither the ambiguous reference product column nor the manufacturer’s unitless quantities supports a usable dose here.
*Area quantities are approximate acre equivalents of the original hectare values stated above. PHI means the time between the last treatment and harvest; “not stated” is not zero days.
The manufacturer’s online quantity may omit an area denominator. Do not infer it. Confirm the current brand rate, water, application method, timing, repeat limits, re-entry, rainfast period and harvest directions. No per-litre or tank recipe is derived here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and match it to the current supplied label, not just the active ingredient.
- Use the complete pack directions: Check the crop-specific rate, water, equipment, timing and placement before measuring product.
- Do not assume a mixture is suitable: Use another product or adjuvant only when the relevant labels permit that combination. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or permission.
- Protect people and nearby areas: Follow protective-equipment and re-entry directions, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the required harvest interval.
