Mode of Action

Cypermethrin mimics natural pyrethrins but with superior stability and potency. It targets voltage-gated sodium channels in insects, causing:

• Uncontrolled nerve impulses

• Muscle spasms and paralysis

• Rapid insect death

Two pathways ensure high mortality:

• Contact Poisoning: Penetrates through the exoskeleton when pests walk across treated surfaces.

• Stomach Poisoning: Ingested while feeding on treated crops or surfaces, disrupting feeding and motor function.

It provides quick knockdown, visible within hours, without systemic absorption into the plant—ideal for surface-targeted control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Cypermethrin Insecticide

Q1: What is Cypermethrin insecticide used for?
Cypermethrin is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is widely used for pest control in agriculture, public health, stored grain protection, and household applications. It effectively targets pests like aphids, beetles, caterpillars, thrips, mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and more.

Q2: What does Cypermethrin kill?
Cypermethrin controls both chewing and sucking insects, such as:

• Bollworms, cutworms, beet armyworms

• Aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers

• Rice stem borers, thrips

• Mosquitoes, flies, ants, and cockroaches
  It works by attacking the insect’s nervous system, causing paralysis and death within hours.

Q3: How does Cypermethrin work?
Cypermethrin disrupts sodium channels in insect nerve cells, leading to overstimulation of the nervous system. This results in muscle spasms, disorientation, and ultimately death. It is effective through both contact and ingestion.

Q4: What is the recommended Cypermethrin dosage per litre?
For field application using Cypermethrin 10% EC:

• Use 1 to 1.5 ml per litre of water for standard pest control

• For severe infestations, increase dosage to 2 ml per litre
  Always follow the product label and adjust based on crop type and pest severity.

Q5: How long does Cypermethrin remain effective after spraying?
Cypermethrin typically offers residual protection for 1 to 3 weeks, depending on:

• Weather conditions (sunlight and rain can reduce efficacy)

• Surface type (lasts longer on non-porous surfaces)

• Pest population density
  Indoors or in shaded areas, its effectiveness may persist longer.

Q6: Is Cypermethrin safe for humans and animals?
When applied according to label directions:

• Cypermethrin is considered low in toxicity for humans and warm-blooded animals

• Always wear protective clothing and equipment during mixing and spraying

• Highly toxic to fish, bees, and aquatic organisms—avoid use near water bodies and during flowering

Q7: Can Cypermethrin be mixed with other pesticides?
Yes, Cypermethrin is compatible with many pesticides and fungicides such as imidacloprid, mancozeb, and carbendazim. However:

• Always perform a jar test to check physical compatibility

• Avoid mixing with alkaline solutions, which may degrade its effectiveness

Q8: Can insects develop resistance to Cypermethrin?
Yes, frequent use without rotating insecticides can lead to resistance. To manage resistance:

• Rotate Cypermethrin with other insecticide classes like neonicotinoids or organophosphates

• Limit the number of applications per season

• Practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to reduce reliance on chemicals
