What is Lambda Cyhalothrin?

Lambda Cyhalothrin is a highly effective, broad-spectrum insecticide that is designed to protect a wide range of crops from a variety of pests. This product contains Lambda Cyhalothrin, a Pyrethroid compound known for its quick knockdown action against harmful pests like worms, aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, which are common problems in agricultural crops.

This product is particularly effective for cotton, chickpea, rice, brinjal, okra, and mango. With its fast knockdown and broad spectrum of action, it helps keep your crops safe and healthy. It is available in two convenient pack sizes: 1000ml and 250ml.

How It Works

Lambda Cyhalothrin works by disrupting the sodium channels in insect nerve cells. This causes paralysis and eventually the death of the pests. Its quick action ensures that pests are controlled before they can cause significant damage to your crops.

This insecticide has both contact and systemic activity, meaning it works by directly affecting the pests when they come in contact with the plant or soil, and also when they ingest treated plants. It is particularly effective on pests that feed on the plant’s tissues.
