Product Details and Technical Specifications

How Marshal Insecticide Works on Pests

Marshal Insecticide acts as an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor. Its mode of action involves biochemical inhibition of acetylcholine esterase, leading to in vivo cleavage of the N–S bond and conversion into carbofuran. This action results in pest control through both contact and stomach poisoning, helping manage target insects effectively under recommended use.
