Chlorodol (Anu Products Limited) (Chlorpyriphos 1.5% DP) is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a dustable powder (DP) formulation containing 1.5% chlorpyriphos, an organophosphate insecticide with contact, stomach, and vapor action.

Mode of Action: Chlorpyriphos works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve transmission in insects. This disruption leads to paralysis and eventually death.

Dosage and Application:

The recommended dosage of Chlorodol varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 5-10 kg per hectare. Chlorodol should be applied as a dust using a conventional duster.

• Apply Chlorodol in the early morning or late evening to avoid the heat of the day.
