Product Description
What is Profenophos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC?
Profenophos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC is a strong combination insecticide combining two chemical classes Profenophos (organophosphate) and Cypermethrin (synthetic pyrethroid) in one EC formulation. It kills sucking pests, chewing pests, bollworms, and mites in a single spray.
Krishikranti Proper-404 is the trusted choice for cotton, chilli, and vegetable farmers facing heavy pest pressure. The dual-class chemistry gives fast knockdown + long-lasting control on pests resistant to single-molecule insecticides.
How Proper-404 Works : Dual Mode of Action
| Molecule | Class | How It Kills |
|---|---|---|
| Profenophos 40% | Organophosphate (IRAC 1B) | AChE inhibitor with translaminar action — reaches hidden pests under leaves and inside curled leaves. Also kills mites. |
| Cypermethrin 4% | Synthetic Pyrethroid (IRAC 3A) | Sodium channel modulator — gives fast contact knockdown and strong repellent action. |
Why this combination wins: Cypermethrin gives quick knockdown of active pests on plant surface. Profenophos goes inside the leaf tissue and kills hidden pests on the underside of leaves. Together they deliver 10–15 days of complete pest control — including pests that resist standard pyrethroids alone.
