Product Information
Mode of Action
Chlorfenapyr acts as a pro-insecticide; it is bioactivated within the insect to a metabolite that uncouples mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. This collapses the proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, preventing ATP formation (energy production), leading to cell death and pest mortality.
Target Pests
- Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera, Maruca)
- Fruit & Shoot Borer
- Mites (Red Spider Mite, etc.)
- Thrips & Spodoptera litura
- Green Semilooper

Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake the container well before use. Mix the required quantity in a small amount of water to ensure dispersion, then add to the spray tank with agitation.
2. Timing
Apply at the first sign of pest incidence. For borers, apply during egg hatching or early larval stages. For mites, ensure thorough coverage of the underside of leaves.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Toxic to aquatic organisms and birds. Do not use near water bodies. Chlorfenapyr is a potent metabolic inhibitor; always wear full protective gear (gloves, mask, protective suit) to avoid skin contact and inhalation.
