Profex Super Insecticide Features and Benefits
Dual Chemistry for Maximum Impact
Combines systemic-contact action of Profenofos with rapid knockdown effect of Cypermethrin.
Quick Knockdown Action
Cypermethrin causes rapid paralysis of insects, reducing immediate crop damage.
Ovicidal and Larvicidal Effect
Controls eggs and early larval stages, breaking the pest life cycle effectively.
Long Residual Protection
Provides extended control period, reducing frequent spray intervals.
Effective Against Resistant Pests
Suitable for areas where pests have developed resistance to single-molecule insecticides.
Broad-Spectrum Control
Controls sucking pests as well as bollworms in one application.
Mode of Action
Profenofos (Organophosphate Group)
Acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase enzyme in insects, causing nervous system disruption and death.
Cypermethrin (Synthetic Pyrethroid Group)
Acts on sodium channels of insect nerve cells, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and rapid knockdown.
The combination ensures multi-site nervous system disruption, reducing resistance buildup risk.
