Start an Agrochemical OEM ProjectContact & Stomach Action
Chlorpyrifos 40% EC is a versatile organophosphate insecticide that delivers effective control through both contact and stomach action. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, it disrupts nerve function in target pests, causing rapid cessation of feeding and mortality. Its broad-spectrum activity and soil persistence make it a valuable tool for managing soil-dwelling and foliar pest complexes.
EC Formulation Benefits
- Stable Emulsion: EC formulation produces a consistent, fine emulsion that maintains uniform concentration throughout the spray tank
- Dual-Action Efficacy: Contact activity on the leaf surface combined with stomach action when ingested provides comprehensive pest control
- Soil Residual Activity: Chlorpyrifos binds to soil organic matter, providing extended residual control of soil-dwelling pests after application
- Versatile Application: Suitable for both foliar spray and soil-directed applications including band and broadcast treatments
Soil & Foliar Application
- Corn: Soil insects, cutworm and stem borer control at planting or as foliar rescue treatment at 1.5–3.0 L/ha
- Rice: Stem borer and gall midge management in transplanted and direct-seeded rice at 1.0–2.0 L/ha
- Vegetables: Cutworm, armyworm and soil insect suppression in tomatoes, peppers and crucifers at 1.0–2.5 L/ha
- Turf: Termite and white grub management in turf and ornamental settings
Who It Is For
- Crop protection companies seeking a broad-spectrum organophosphate for their product portfolio
- Brand owners targeting corn and rice markets where soil pest pressure is a primary yield constraint
- Distributors expanding into soil insect management with a proven, scalable OEM supply partner
