EBS Ninja Cyper Cypermethrin 10% Ec

1. Product Overview:
Cypermethrin 10% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) is a broad-spectrum, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used to control a wide range of chewing and sucking insect pests in various agricultural and horticultural crops. It is also effective in public health pest management and termite control. This insecticide offers contact and stomach action with rapid knockdown and prolonged residual control.

The EC formulation ensures superior coverage, better adhesion, and enhanced penetration, making it highly effective for foliar applications. It acts quickly on insect pests, providing fast paralysis and mortality with a repellent effect that deters further infestation.

2. Mode of Action:
Cypermethrin 10% EC acts through multiple mechanisms, making it highly effective against pests:

✅ Contact and Stomach Action:

• The insecticide kills pests on direct contact and through ingestion when they feed on treated crops.

✅ Neurotoxic Action:

• Cypermethrin targets the nervous system of the insect by interfering with sodium channel regulation in the nerve cells.

• It causes hyper-excitation of the nervous system, leading to loss of coordination, paralysis, and eventual death.

✅ Knockdown Effect:

• Provides a rapid paralyzing action that knocks down the pest population quickly.

• Offers long-lasting residual protection, preventing reinfestation.

✅ Repellent Action:

• Cypermethrin also has a repellent effect, deterring insects from returning to the treated area, reducing the risk of re-infestation.
