Mode of Action

Chlorpyrifos

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide. It inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme required for the normal functioning of the insect nervous system. This causes excessive nervous stimulation, paralysis and death.

Cypermethrin

Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that affects sodium channels in insect nerve cells. It acts through contact and ingestion, causing rapid nervous-system disruption, paralysis and death.

Together, the two active ingredients provide quick knockdown and control of susceptible target pests.

Application Information

• Application method: Foliar spray.
• Dilute the product in clean water according to the authorised label.
• Spray uniformly over the crop canopy using calibrated equipment.
• Apply when the labelled target pest reaches the recommended intervention level.
• Avoid spraying during strong winds or immediately before rainfall.
• Do not repeatedly apply insecticides with the same modes of action.
• Observe all crop-specific waiting periods and re-entry instructions.
