Lambda 25 EC (Canary Agro Chemicals) LAMBDA CYHALOTHRIN 2.5 % ec is a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide that effectively controls a wide range of sucking and chewing insects in various crops, including cotton, vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. It contains the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin (2.5%), a synthetic pyrethroid that acts as a fast-acting neurotoxin.

Key Features

  • Broad-spectrum insecticide
  • Effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing insects
  • Contact and stomach action
  • Fast knockdown and long-lasting residual activity
  • Rainfast

Mode of Action

Lambda 25 EC acts as a contact and stomach insecticide. Lambda-cyhalothrin disrupts the insect's nervous system by interfering with sodium channel activity. This disruption leads to paralysis and death of the insect. Lambda 25 EC also has long-lasting residual activity, providing prolonged control of targeted pests.

Application Rates

The recommended application rate of Lambda 25 EC varies depending on the specific target insect, crop, and environmental conditions. It is essential to consult the product label for precise application rates tailored to each scenario.

Application Methods

Lambda 25 EC can be applied using various methods, including foliar spray, chemigation, and seed treatment. The choice of application method depends on the target insect, crop, grower's preference, and severity of the pest infestation. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions for each method.
