PROFENOFOS 40% + CYPERMETHRIN 4% EC – ProGraph

Description

PROGRAPH is a highly effective combination insecticide containing Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC, one of the most trusted and widely used insecticide combinations in Indian cotton farming. Profenofos belongs to the organophosphate group and works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity in the insect nervous system, providing reliable contact and stomach action against a broad spectrum of chewing and sucking pests. Cypermethrin belongs to the synthetic pyrethroid group and works by disrupting voltage-gated sodium ion channels in insect nerves, delivering immediate fast knockdown of target pests within hours of application.

The powerful synergistic combination of Profenofos and Cypermethrin in PROGRAPH delivers outstanding pest control results across a broad spectrum of economically important crop pests. Profenofos provides deep penetration into plant tissue and reliable stomach action against larvae feeding inside bolls and plant tissue, while Cypermethrin delivers immediate surface knockdown of adult insects and exposed larvae — together providing complete and comprehensive pest control from a single spray application. This complementary dual action makes PROGRAPH particularly effective against bollworms in cotton where both exposed adult moths and larvae hidden inside bolls and squares need to be controlled simultaneously.

PROGRAPH emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures excellent mixing in water, superior spray coverage and strong adhesion to leaf and boll surfaces even after light rainfall. It is particularly recommended for bollworm management in cotton during the critical flowering and boll development stages when pest damage can cause catastrophic yield loss if not controlled promptly and effectively. With good residual activity of up to 15–20 days and a broad pest spectrum covering both bollworms and sucking pests, PROGRAPH delivers reliable and comprehensive crop protection with fewer spray applications — significantly reducing overall input costs and labour requirements. For best results apply at the first sign of pest infestation and rotate with insecticides of different mode of action to prevent resistance development in bollworm populations.
