Application

Systemic insecticide with contact and stomach poisoning action. Works by inhibiting cholinesterase. It is highly effective against a wide spectrum of insects at all developing stages (Eggs, Larvae, Adults), extremely active against the most difficult insect pests which have become resistant to organophosphorus and pyrethroid compounds. Also used as an acaricide to control ticks and spiders. Quickly decomposes in nature, which decreases the safety period for vegetables and fruit trees.
