Technical Name: Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC
Description
Knock Down Super is a broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide containing Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC. It provides effective control of several sucking and chewing insect pests through contact and stomach action. It acts rapidly on the insect nervous system, helping reduce pest feeding and crop damage.
Technical Name
Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC
Mode of Action
Knock Down Super works mainly through contact and stomach action. Lambda-cyhalothrin affects the insect nervous system by interfering with voltage-gated sodium channels, resulting in rapid knockdown, paralysis and eventual death of susceptible pests.
Features & Benefits
- Broad-spectrum insect control.
- Fast knockdown action against target pests.
- Effective against both sucking and chewing insects.
- Helps protect crops from pest-related feeding damage.
- Suitable for use as a foliar spray where the product is registered for the crop and pest.
- Easy-to-use EC formulation.
Application Method
Use as a foliar spray with a suitable knapsack, compression knapsack or battery sprayer. Measure the recommended quantity, mix thoroughly with a small quantity of water, then add the remaining water while maintaining agitation. Ensure good and uniform coverage of the crop foliage.
