Cypra is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing 25% cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including caterpillars, beetles, weevils, leaf miners, aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafhoppers. Cypra is primarily used for agricultural pest control and can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench.

Mode of Action:

Cypra acts as a neurotoxin, affecting the nervous system of insects. It binds to sodium channels in nerve cells, causing them to remain open. This leads to a disruption of nerve impulses, resulting in paralysis and eventually death of the insects.

Application:

Cypra is available in an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation. It can be applied using various methods, including foliar spraying and soil drenching. It is primarily used for agricultural pest control, targeting a wide range of insect pests, including caterpillars, beetles, weevils, leaf miners, aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafhoppers.

Precautions:

While Cypra is considered relatively safe when used according to label directions, it is essential to take precautions during handling and application.

  • Wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, when handling or applying Cypra.

  • Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling or applying Cypra.

  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling or applying Cypra.

  • Store Cypra in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from food, feed, and children's reach.

  • Dispose of empty containers safely and responsibly.

  • Cypra is moderately toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of water bodies.
