What is Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC?
Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC is a high-strength synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with fast contact and stomach action against bollworms, caterpillars, jassids, thrips, and aphids in cotton, paddy, vegetables, pulses, and oilseeds.
Krishikranti Lambda Knight Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC delivers stronger pest control compared to standard 2.5% EC formulations — needing lower volume per acre and lower cost per spray. With repellent action that prevents reinfestation and broad crop applicability, it is one of the most reliable pyrethroid insecticides available for Indian farmers.
How Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC Works
Lambda Cyhalothrin works through contact and stomach action. When pests come in contact with treated surfaces or feed on treated tissue, the active ingredient binds to sodium channels in the insect nervous system preventing nerve signal transmission, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death within minutes.
