It seems you're interested in Prosper insecticide. To give you the most accurate information, I need a bit more detail, as there are a few different products with that name. Could you tell me who manufactures it? (e.g., Coromandel, UPL, Bayer)
However, based on my knowledge, "Prosper" often refers to an insecticide by Coromandel International. Here's a description of that product:
Prosper Insecticide (Coromandel International)
This is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing Chlorpyrifos 50% EC as its active ingredient.1 It belongs to the organophosphate class of insecticides and is effective against a wide range of insect pests in various crops, particularly cotton and rice.2
Key Features and Benefits:
Broad-spectrum activity: Controls chewing and sucking pests, including bollworms, stem borers, leaf folders, aphids, jassids, and whiteflies.3
Three-way action: Works as a contact, stomach, and fumigant insecticide, providing multi-faceted control.4
Rapid knockdown: Provides quick knockdown of target pests, minimizing crop damage.
Long residual activity: Offers extended control, reducing the need for frequent applications.
Cost-effective: Provides efficient pest control at an economical price.
No reported resistance: Coromandel reports no known resistance development against Prosper in target pests.5
Mode of Action:
Prosper works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme essential for nerve impulse transmission in insects.6 This disruption leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine, causing overstimulation of the nervous system, paralysis, and death of the pest.7
