EBS Ethon Cyper Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% Ec

1. Product Overview:

Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that provides dual action for effective control of a wide range of chewing, sucking, and mite pests in various crops. The combination of Ethion (an organophosphate) and Cypermethrin (a synthetic pyrethroid) ensures contact, stomach, and residual activity, making it highly effective against resistant pest populations.

• Ethion (40%): A non-systemic organophosphate insecticide and acaricide that inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme in pests, causing paralysis and death.

• Cypermethrin (5%): A fast-acting synthetic pyrethroid that disrupts the sodium ion channels in nerve cells, leading to rapid knockdown and mortality.

• EC formulation (Emulsifiable Concentrate) ensures quick absorption, excellent penetration, and uniform distribution on plant surfaces.

2. Mode of Action:

The combination of Ethion and Cypermethrin provides a dual mode of action, making it a powerful tool against insecticide-resistant pests.

✅ Contact and Stomach Action:

• Kills pests upon direct contact and through ingestion when they feed on treated plant surfaces.

✅ Neurotoxic Action:

• Ethion: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme, leading to accumulation of acetylcholine in nerve cells, causing continuous nerve impulses, paralysis, and death.

• Cypermethrin: Affects sodium ion channels, disrupting nerve impulses and leading to knockdown and mortality.

✅ Knockdown, Repellent, and Residual Effect:

• Provides a quick knockdown effect and has a repellent action, preventing further pest infestation.

• Long-lasting residual control ensures extended protection against pests.

✅ Ovicidal, Larvicidal, and Adulticidal Properties:

• Effective in all stages of insect life cycles, including eggs, larvae, and adults.

✅ Acaricidal Action:

• Effective against mites, making it useful for crops prone to mite infestations.
