Key Advantages

How It Works
Chlorpyriphos disrupts the insect nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, leading to paralysis.
Cypermethrin targets sodium ion channels, causing hyperexcitation and quick death of the pest.
Usage Guidelines
- Foliar Spray: Mix the required quantity in water and spray uniformly over the crop canopy.
- Soil Drench: Apply around plant roots for below-surface pest control.
- Timing: Use at the first signs of infestation for proactive protection.
- Compatibility: Can be tank-mixed with most fungicides and fertilizers (avoid alkaline combinations).
Storage & Safety
