Description

What is TREND?

TREND is a powerful broad-spectrum insecticide formulated with 40% Chlorpyrifos, a trusted organophosphate compound. It is designed to protect cotton crops from pests, particularly American Bollworms. The product works through contact and stomach action, quickly controlling pest populations and preventing crop damage. With a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 21-28 days, TREND provides farmers with a reliable solution to ensure their cotton crops stay protected from harmful pests.

Key Benefits

• Effective Pest Control: TREND targets American Bollworms, a major pest of cotton crops.
• Broad-Spectrum Action: Works effectively against a wide range of pests, including both chewing and sucking insects.

How It Works

TREND works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the nervous system of pests, leading to their paralysis and death. The chlorpyrifos in TREND is absorbed by the pest through contact or ingestion, quickly eliminating them and preventing further damage to the cotton crops. This fast-acting formula ensures that pests are controlled at the earliest stages of infestation, safeguarding the crop from significant damage.
