Chlorpyrifos 10% GR is a broad spectrum organophosphate insecticide formulated as a granular form which is mainly used for soil application. It is highly effective against soil dwelling insects like termites, white grubs, root borer, shoot borer and other hidden pests that attack the root zone. The product is systemic in nature and provides long residual control after application. It is widely used in crops like sugarcane, rice, groundnut, cotton, maize and vegetables.
Mode of Action Chlorpyrifos is an acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitor which blocks the transmission of nerve impulses in insects. After uptake through contact and stomach action, the chemical disrupts the nervous system leading to paralysis and death of the pest. Granular formulation ensures slow release of the active ingredient into soil which protects crops for a longer period.Benefits • Effective control of soil insects at root zone • Longer residual action due to gradual release from granules • Protects early crop growth stage from hidden pests • Helps in better root establishment and healthier plant stand • Suitable for wide range of crops and different soil conditions
