Deltamethrin 100 EC (11% w/w)
Deltamethrin is the world's most effective synthetic pyrethroid insecticide for use in
agriculture, being photo stable. It is a non systemic insecticide which acts by contact and ingestion and exhibiting a broad spectrum control of chewing and sucking insects.
Deltamethrin is effective against a wide range of insect pests, which include Lepidoptera, Homoptera; particularly Aphids and Psylla but also some Coccidia and Cicadellinea, Heteroptera, Thysanoptera; selected thrips species, Diptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera.

MODE OF ACTION

● It acts on the insects by contact and ingestion. Its high lipophilicity provides a
high affinity with the insect cuticle. In the insect body it affects the nerve transmission
by acting on the axon. It disrupts the conduction of the nervous influx by modifying
the kinetics of the function of the sodium canal.
● Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Classification No. 3 A

FEATURES
● Remarkable knockdown effect.
● Deltamethrin exhibits a good residual activity due to a range of specific
physico-chemical properties:
● Solubility in fatty tissues allows a good penetration into cuticles of leaves.
● Very low solubility in water giving a good rain fastness.
● Very low vapour pressure and therefore a good resistance to evaporation.
● Most effective synthetic pyrethroid because of a single pure isomer.
● Demonstrates repellent action and anti-feeding properties.
● Deltamethrin is a contact, non-systemic insecticide, adequate spray volume is
essential to ensure good coverage on target plants and insects.
