Acetamiprid 0.4% + Chlorpyrifos 20% EC is a combination insecticide designed for effective management of both sucking and chewing pests in a wide range of crops. Acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide which is highly systemic and provides protection against pests hidden in plant tissue while Chlorpyrifos is a contact and stomach poison that control soil as well as foliar insect. The mix together ensures strong knock down and long duration protection in crops like cotton paddy pulses, oilseeds, vegetables and fruit crops.Mode of ActionAcetamiprid acts as an agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system which disrupt normal signal transmission and cause paralysis and death. Chlorpyrifos inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase leading to accumulation of acetylcholine at synapse which results in nervous breakdown of insects. Combination of two molecules attack the insect nervous system at different sites making control more effective and reducing risk of resistance.Benefits • Effective against both sucking pest and chewing pest • Systemic and contact action provide complete crop coverage • Quick knock down with extended residual effect • Delay resistance due to dual mode of action • Improve crop quality and yield by preventing pest damage • Suitable for use in diverse crops giving flexibility to farmers
