KONICHI Insecticide is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests. It is a contact and stomach poison that works by disrupting the nervous system of insects. KONICHI Insecticide is available as a wettable powder and a suspension concentrate.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in KONICHI Insecticide is cartap hydrochloride. Cartap hydrochloride is a synthetic pyrazoline insecticide that is similar to chlorpyrifos. It is a nerve agent that works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is essential for the transmission of nerve impulses.

Target Pests

KONICHI Insecticide is effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, mealybugs, scales, mites, caterpillars, and beetles. It is also effective against some soil-borne pests, such as cutworms and wireworms.

Mode of Action

KONICHI Insecticide is a contact and stomach poison. It kills insects by disrupting their nervous system. When an insect comes into contact with KONICHI Insecticide, the insecticide is absorbed through the insect's skin. Once inside the insect, the insecticide disrupts the normal function of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is essential for the transmission of nerve impulses. This disruption leads to paralysis and death.
