STARTEK CYPERGOLD Insecticides

About Product

• Cypermethrin 10% E.C. is a non-cumulative broad-spectrum insecticide.
• It is a fast-acting neurotoxin with good contact and stomach action.
• It is moderately toxic to mammals and can be easily metabolised, resulting in an instant loss of activity.
• Cypermethrin is not plant systemic; it degrades quickly in soil and on plants but retains a high level of activity on inert surfaces.
• It also controls other pests such as cockroaches, flies, and other indoor pests in houses, hospitals, and schools and protects public health.

Technical Content

• Cypermethrin 10% EC

Features

• It is very effective in controlling insects immediately after application, even at low doses.
•  It does not leave residue in crops, and, as a result, it can be applied a week before crop harvest.

Mode of Action

• Cypermethrin interferes the central nervous system of pests and causes muscle spasms and paralysis upon contact or ingestion.
• Cypermethrin delays the closing of the sodium gate in insects and thus allows sodium flow, which results in multiple nerve impulses instead of one.
• Cypermethrin also inhibits the calcium uptake by nerves.
