EBS Cyhalomaster Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9%cs

1. Product Overview:
Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS (Capsule Suspension) is a broad-spectrum, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used to control a wide range of chewing and sucking insect pests in agricultural, horticultural, and public health applications. The CS formulation uses microencapsulation technology, ensuring slow and controlled release of the active ingredient, providing longer residual activity and improved rainfastness compared to conventional formulations.

• Lambda-Cyhalothrin: A contact and stomach insecticide that offers quick knockdown action with extended residual control.

• Capsule Suspension Technology: The microencapsulation enhances the insecticide’s effectiveness by releasing the active ingredient gradually, ensuring prolonged pest control.

• Highly effective at low doses, making it a cost-effective solution for farmers.

2. Mode of Action:
Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS 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.

• The microencapsulation ensures a slow and continuous release, providing extended pest control.

✅ Neurotoxic Action:

• Lambda-Cyhalothrin acts on the nervous system by disrupting sodium channels in the nerve cells.

• This causes continuous nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death of the pest.

✅ Knockdown and Repellent Action:

• Provides a rapid knockdown effect, paralyzing pests quickly.

• Has a repellent effect, preventing further infestation and keeping new pests away.

✅ Long-Lasting Residual Control:

• The capsule suspension technology ensures a slow and steady release of the active ingredient, providing extended protection against pests.

• Ensures prolonged effectiveness even after light rain or irrigation.
