Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% EC

Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% EC is a powerful, dual-action insecticide used primarily in agriculture to manage both sucking and chewing pests. This combination of an organophosphate (Ethion) and a synthetic pyrethroid (Cypermethrin) provides both a quick knockdown effect and long-lasting residual protection.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual Mode of Action: Ethion acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor, while Cypermethrin acts as a sodium channel modulator. This dual approach helps manage resistant pest populations.

• Broad Spectrum: It is highly effective against a variety of pests including bollworms, mites, thrips, whiteflies, aphids, and caterpillars.

• Synergistic Effect: The combination is more potent than either chemical used alone, providing superior control over late-instar larvae and hard-to-kill insects.

Recommended Dosage & Usage

The standard dosage usually ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 ml per liter of water, depending on the crop and pest severity.
