What is Cypermethrin 10% EC?

Cypermethrin 10% EC is a broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with fast contact and stomach action against bollworms, caterpillars, jassids, thrips, and aphids in cotton, vegetables, sugarcane, and pulse crops.
Krishikranti Ninja Cyper Cypermethrin 10% EC is the trusted choice for farmers needing fast pest knockdown at affordable cost. The 10% EC concentration is the most economical pyrethroid option for routine pest management with low residue and short pre-harvest interval  making it ideal for vegetable farmers and cotton growers across India.

How Cypermethrin 10% EC Works

Cypermethrin works through contact and stomach poison action. When pests come in contact with treated plant surfaces or feed on treated tissue, the active ingredient binds to sodium channels in the insect nervous system, preventing nerve signal transmission, causing paralysis and death within hours.

Why farmers prefer Ninja Cyper: Fast knockdown, broad spectrum, no resistance development on most target pests, and one of the lowest cost-per-acre options for pest control. Effective for both preventive and curative spraying.
