Carbofuran (2, 3-dihydro-2, 2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl. N-methylcarbamate) is the active ingredient of the systemic insecticide-nematicide, Furadan (FMC Corporation, Philadelphia, Pa). It can be applied in rice-fish culture as a rootzone (soil incorporation) treatment. This appears to eliminate toxicity effects to the fish. Available data indicate that carbofuran is safe to use in rice-fish culture if properly applied and does not accumulate in the fatty tissues of fish.
