Chlorpyrifos 40 EC – Broad-Spectrum Insecticide for Soil and Foliar Pest Control in Crops

Chlorpyrifos 40 EC is a high-performance organophosphate insecticide formulated to protect crops from a wide range of destructive pests. With both systemic and contact modes of action, this insecticide targets harmful chewing and sucking insects that attack the roots, stems, leaves, and even flowers and fruits of crops. Its rapid knockdown effect and long-lasting residual action make it a trusted choice for farmers, horticulturists, and home gardeners alike.

This powerful liquid formulation is designed for both foliar spray and soil drenching applications, allowing for flexible usage across various crop stages. Chlorpyrifos 40 EC disrupts the insect nervous system by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, causing paralysis and ultimately death. It is highly effective even against hidden or soil-dwelling pests, which makes it a reliable option for comprehensive pest control.
