CHLORPYRIFOS 10% GR
An organophosphate insecticide in a granular formulation designed for larvicidal control in standing water bodies. It provides effective, sustained release control of mosquito larvae and other aquatic pests in drains, ponds, and water tanks.
Product Information
Nerve Inhibition: Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate that inhibits the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. This causes an accumulation of acetylcholine at the nerve synapses, leading to continuous nerve impulses, paralysis, and death of the target larvae.
Sustained Release: The granular formulation allows the product to settle at the bottom of the water body or release slowly over time, providing extended residual control against re-infestation.
- Mosquito Larvae (Anopheles, Aedes, Culex spp.)
- Chironomid Midges

Easy to apply (ready-to-use granules). Effective in polluted water where other formulations might degrade quickly. Provides long-term protection.
