Key Benefits

• Effective Pest Control: Targets a wide range of pests including thrips, beetles, aphids, and American bollworm.
• Unique Mode of Action: The product acts as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, preventing pests from reproducing and feeding.
• Resistance Management: Ideal for managing resistance, thanks to its unique chemistry and mode of action.

• Easy Application: Available in convenient pack sizes of 200ml and 400ml, perfect for small and medium-scale farms.

How It Works

Chlorfenapyr 36% SC works by disrupting the energy production in pests. It acts as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in the pest’s cells. This means that the pests are unable to generate the energy they need to feed, reproduce, and grow. As a result, they stop feeding almost immediately and are eventually killed.

Because of its unique mode of action, Chlorfenapyr is an effective tool for resistance management, making it an excellent choice for farmers dealing with resistant pest populations. This mechanism also reduces the chances of pests developing resistance over time, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
