Hamla 550 Insecticide
Hamla 550 Insecticide is a powerful broad-spectrum insecticide formulated with Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC. This dual-chemistry combination delivers both contact and stomach action, providing rapid knockdown and long residual control against major sucking, chewing, and boring insects.
By combining the organophosphate strength of Chlorpyrifos with the fast-acting pyrethroid Cypermethrin, Hamla 550 ensures effective pest elimination and resistance management. It is widely trusted for crops like cotton, paddy, vegetables, pulses, and oilseeds where heavy pest pressure demands reliable protection.

Hamla 550 Insecticide Features and Benefits
Dual-Mode Action:
Chlorpyrifos acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor disrupting the insect nervous system, while Cypermethrin provides rapid knockdown through sodium channel modulation.
Quick Knockdown with Long Residual Control:
Provides immediate pest paralysis and extended protection due to residual persistence on plant surfaces.
Broad-Spectrum Control:
Effective against sucking pests (aphids, thrips, jassids) and chewing/boring pests (bollworms, stem borers, caterpillars).
Strong Contact & Stomach Activity:
Kills insects on direct contact and after ingestion, ensuring complete control.
Resistance Management Tool:
Combining two different chemical groups reduces the risk of resistance buildup when used as part of IPM strategy.
Cost-Effective Protection:
Ideal for high pest infestation situations requiring powerful intervention.
Mode of Action (Scientific Insight)
Chlorpyrifos (Organophosphate Group – IRAC Group 1B) inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme, causing continuous nerve impulse transmission leading to insect death.
Cypermethrin (Synthetic Pyrethroid – IRAC Group 3A) interferes with sodium ion channels in nerve cells, causing rapid paralysis (knockdown effect).
The combination ensures immediate kill plus sustained field control.
