Advanced Insect Control for Healthy, High-Yield Crops
Premain Chlorpyrifos 20% EC is a broad-spectrum, systemic and contact insecticide belonging to the organophosphate class. It is specifically designed to manage a wide variety of pests that threaten crop productivity, including both soil-borne and foliar insects. This powerful formulation is trusted by farmers across India for its reliability, fast action, and long-lasting effect.
Chlorpyrifos, the active ingredient, works by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which is vital for nerve impulse transmission in pests. This results in the rapid paralysis and eventual death of the targeted insects. With contact and stomach poisoning properties, Premain acts both when the pest comes into direct contact with the spray and when it ingests treated plant parts or soil.
🔍 Mode of Action
Contact & Stomach Poison: Premain penetrates the insect's body through direct contact or ingestion.
Neurotoxin: It disrupts nerve function by interfering with enzyme activity, leading to paralysis.
Fumigant Effect: In enclosed soil conditions, it may exhibit mild fumigant properties that target hidden soil pests.
