COMBICRON (PROFENOFOS 40% + CYPERMETHRIN 4% EC) is a ready to use combi product. It is a non-systemic.
Mode of Action:
- COMBICRON (PROFENOFOS 40% + CYPERMETHRIN 4% EC) is having dual mode of action. Profenofos is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme acetyl cholinesterase, which is essential for the transmission of impulses between nerve cells.
- It binds tightly to and inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and disrupts nerve impulse transmission by acting in synaptic regions of insect nerve cell.
- While cypermethrin is a Sodium channel modulator, it inhibits the sodium ion entry into the nerve cells which leads to the hyperexcitation of the nerves.
- This nerve overstimulation followed by convulsions and paralysis leads to death of the target insect.
