CHLOROPYRIPHOS 20% EC
DESCRIPTION: Chlorpyriphos 20% E.C. is an insecticide commonly used to control a wide range of insect pests in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. It is a liquid formulation that contains 20% of the active ingredient Chlorpyriphos, which is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide. Chlorpyriphos 20% E.C. is effective against many different types of insects, including aphids, thrips, caterpillars, and beetles, and can provide long-lasting control of these pests when used properly.
MODE OF ACTION : Chlorpyriphos 20% E.C. is an organophosphate insecticide that inhibits the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the nervous system of insects. By inhibiting this enzyme, Chlorpyriphos causes an accumulation of acetylcholine, leading to overstimulation of the nervous system and eventual paralysis and death of the insect.
