Mode of Action

Chlorpyrifos is a non-systemic insecticide designed to be effective by direct contact, ingestion, and inhalation.

Cypermethrin is a composite non-systemic pyrethroid; a broad spectrum, non-cumulative insecticide; and, a fast-acting neurotoxin with good contact and stomach action. Cypermethrin acts as a stomach and contact insecticide. Also exhibits antifeeding action.

How to work

Chlorpyrifos affects the nervous system by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter. When insects are exposed, chlorpyrifos binds to the active site of the cholinesterase (ChE) enzyme, which prevents breakdown of ACh in the synaptic cleft. The resulting accumulation of ACh in the synaptic cleft causes overstimulation of the neuronal cells, which leads to neurotoxicity and eventually death.\
