NICHLORO – Chlorpyriphos 20% EC

NICHLORO – Chlorpyriphos 20% EC is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate. It provides effective control of a wide range of sucking and chewing insect pests in various crops, including cereals, pulses, vegetables, cotton, and fruits. NICHLORO acts both as a contact and stomach poison, offering rapid knockdown and long residual control, thereby protecting crops from early and heavy pest infestations.

Mode of Action

• Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor: Chlorpyriphos inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in insect nervous systems → accumulation of acetylcholine → overstimulation of nerves → paralysis and death of pests.

• Contact & Stomach Action: Kills pests on contact and through ingestion.
