General Information

Premain is an organophosphorus insecticide with contact, ingestion, and vapor action. It is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is effective against a wide range of insect pests on many crops.

Active Ingredient

Chlorpyriphos 50% EC

Mode of Action

Premain acts by disrupting the insect's nervous system. It inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the insect's body. This causes the insect to become hyperactive and eventually paralyzed.
