CHEETAH 505 (Chlorpyriphos 50% + Cypermethrin 5%)
Product Description :
CHEETAH 505 is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide used in agriculture to control a wide range of pests. It combines two active ingredients: Chlorpyriphos at 50% and Cypermethrin at 5%. These ingredients work together to effectively manage and eliminate various insect and mite infestations in crops.
Active Ingredients :
1. Chlorpyriphos (50%) :Chlorpyriphos is an organophosphorus compound known for its effectiveness in controlling soil-dwelling insects, termites, and a variety of crop-damaging pests. It acts by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase in insects, leading to paralysis and death.
2. Cypermethrin 5% :Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that is effective against a broad spectrum of pests. It works by affecting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and ultimately leading to their death.
How to Use :
1. Dilution : Mix the recommended amount of CHEETAH 505 with water as per the manufacturer's instructions. The precise dilution ratio may vary depending on the crop, pest type, and severity.
2. Application : Apply the diluted solution evenly over the crop using suitable application equipment, ensuring thorough coverage. Pay special attention to the undersides of leaves and target areas where pests are most active.
3. Safety Precautions : Always wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves and goggles, during mixing and application. Avoid direct skin contact with the product, and wash hands and equipment thoroughly after use.
| Recommended Crop | Recommended Pests | Dosage/Acre (ml) | Dilution in Water (Lit/Acre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Aphid, Thrips, Jassids, Whitefly, American bollworm, Pink bollworm, Spotted bollworm, Cotton leafworm | 350-450 | 200-250 |
| Rice | Stem borer, leaf folder | 250-300 | 200-250 |
Method of Operation :
- Chlorpyriphos, an organophosphate insecticide, works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase in the insect nervous system.
- Acetylcholinesterase normally breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter vital for nervous system function.
- Inhibition results in acetylcholine accumulation, leading to nerve overstimulation, paralysis, and ultimately, the insect's death.
- Cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, disrupts sodium channels in the insect nervous system.
- These channels play a role in transmitting nerve impulses, and disruption leads to the accumulation of sodium ions within nerve cells.
- This accumulation causes hyperexcitation and paralysis in the insect.
Benefits of CHEETAH 505 :
- Exhibits prolonged persistence on the leaf surface.
- Ensures long-lasting effectiveness.
- Provides efficient control of sucking pests across diverse crops.
- Capable of penetrating the robust larval wall composed of waxes and lipids.
