Product Overview

Cypro Insecticide is a broad-spectrum insecticide that effectively controls a wide range of sucking insects and chewing pests in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and turfgrass. It contains two active ingredients: profenofos and cypermethrin, which work synergistically to provide superior pest control.

Mode of Action

Cypro Insecticide acts as a contact and systemic insecticide. Profenofos is absorbed by insect tissues through contact and disrupts the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, while cypermethrin binds to sodium channels in the insect nervous system. This dual action mode ensures effective control of both exposed and hidden pests.

• Profenofos: An organophosphate insecticide that disrupts the acetylcholinesterase enzyme in the insect nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
• Cypermethrin: A synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that disrupts the sodium channels in the insect nervous system, leading to hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death.

Application Rates

The recommended application rate of Cypro Insecticide varies depending on the specific target pest, crop, and environmental conditions. It is essential to consult the product label for precise application rates tailored to each scenario.

Application Methods

Cypro Insecticide can be applied using various methods, including foliar spray, soil drench, and seed treatment. The choice of application method depends on the target pest, crop, and grower's preference. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions for each method.
