How It Works: Mode of Action
Chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin both affect insect nerves, but at different points in nerve signalling.
-
Chlorpyrifos affects signal removal: It blocks the normal breakdown of a nerve-signalling chemical.
-
Cypermethrin affects nerve channels: It alters channels involved in transmission of nerve signals.
-
Normal pest activity is disrupted: Susceptible insects lose normal movement and nerve function.
Rotate treatment approaches as the crop programme allows. A mode-of-action group is not a promise that resistance cannot develop.

Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical programmes remain withheld pending reconciliation of the available rate references with the current Chandika pack. Confirm the complete crop-specific quantity, carrier water, method, treatment condition, harvest and access requirements together before use.

No numeric dose is recommended until the available references are reconciled with the current Chandika pack. The crop and target table remains useful for matching the pack; it does not authorize use without complete label directions.
Carrier water and harvest waiting periods are not established here from complete current exact-brand programmes. Missing values do not mean zero waiting time or permission to borrow another brand’s directions.
Confirm crop stage, application method, water, mixing sequence, harvest and re-entry intervals before treatment. No unsupported tank dose, repeat interval, maximum number of applications, rainfast time or tank mixture is recommended. Reconcile the product dose with the current Chandika label before use; available manufacturer and formulation references do not establish one reliable rate. Do not use on ber, citrus or tobacco.
