Description

What is CYPERMETHRIN 10% EC?

CYPERMETHRIN 10% EC is a powerful, broad-spectrum insecticide designed for cotton crops. Its active ingredient, Cypermethrin, is a pyrethroid that targets a wide range of pests, with a primary focus on the Pink and Spotted Bollworm. This product is perfect for farmers in Pakistan, especially in regions like Balochistan, Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where bollworm infestations are common.

Cypermethrin acts rapidly, providing fast knockdown and effective control over pest populations, thus ensuring healthy crops and maximizing yields. It is highly valued by cotton growers for its contact action, making it ideal for pest management.

Key Benefits

How It Works

Cypermethrin works as a sodium channel modulator. It targets the nervous system of pests by interfering with the sodium channels in their cells, which causes paralysis and death. This mode of action is fast-acting, providing rapid knockdown of pests. As a contact insecticide, it directly affects pests upon contact, making it highly effective for pests that are exposed to the product.

The product’s rapid action ensures pests are eliminated quickly, minimizing the damage caused to cotton crops and allowing for better yields.
