General Information:

Bang X is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains the active ingredients profenofos and cypermethrin. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests in a variety of crops, including cotton, soybeans, and vegetables. Bang X is a non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. It also has ovicidal, larvicidal, and acaricidal properties.

Active Ingredients:

• Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC

Mode of Action:

Profenofos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that is essential for nerve function in insects. When acetylcholinesterase is inhibited, acetylcholine builds up in the insect's body, causing paralysis and death.

Cypermethrin acts on the sodium channels in insect nerve cells. When cypermethrin binds to the sodium channels, it keeps them open, which results in repetitive nerve firing and eventually paralysis and death.

Application:

Bang X can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the crop and the insect pest to be controlled. For example, to control bollworms in cotton, Bang X can be applied as a foliar spray at a dose of 1000-1500 ml per hectare.

Precautions:

• Bang X is a selective insecticide, but it can harm some crops if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.
• Bang X is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
• Bang X is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should not be applied near water bodies.

Additional Information:

Bang X is a popular insecticide among farmers in India because it is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including some difficult-to-control pests such as bollworms in cotton and whiteflies in vegetables. It is also relatively safe for crops if used correctly.

However, it is important to note that Bang X is a non-systemic insecticide, which means that it does not penetrate the plant tissues. Therefore, it is important to spray the entire plant, including the underside of the leaves, to ensure effective control of insect pests.

It is also important to rotate Bang X with other insecticides to prevent the development of resistance in insect pests.
