Mode of Action

Chlorpyrifos acts on the nervous system of target insects by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in normal nerve function. The resulting accumulation of acetylcholine disrupts normal nerve transmission, leading to paralysis and eventual death of the target pest.

Its contact, stomach, and respiratory activity allows Dhanvan-20 to act through different exposure routes, making it effective against a broad range of target insect pests.
