How Trichlorfon Works

Trichlorfon targets the insect nervous system by inhibiting cholinesterase, leading to overstimulation, paralysis, and death. Its multi-action mode ensures broad efficacy:

• Stomach Poisoning: Insects ingest treated plants

• Contact Action: Direct exposure causes instant kill

• Osmotic Activity: Penetrates plant tissues for systemic control

Target Pests

• Lawn Grubs

• Beetle Larvae

• Cabbage Worms, Leafrollers

• Soil-Borne Insects

• External Parasites (Lice, Ticks, Scabies)

• Fish Parasites (Trematodes, Nematodes, Cladocerans)

Application Guidelines

Timing: Apply during the early larval stages for best results.
Aquaculture: Monitor pH levels to avoid degradation into dichlorvos in alkaline water.

Mixed Formulations for Enhanced Performance

🔸 Trichlorfon 30% + Profenofos 10% EC

Enhanced contact and systemic action. Suitable for cotton and vegetable pests, especially chewing insects and mites.

🔸 Trichlorfon 20% + Dimethoate 20% EC
