Cord 72% EC
Active Ingredient Profenofos: 720 g / L
Chemical Group: Organophosphorus
Formulation: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)
Product Properties Cord 72% EC is a non-systemic organophosphorus insecticide with triple action (contact, stomach, and vapor effect). It is characterized by its rapid knockdown and long-lasting residual control on target insects.

It provides highly effective control against a wide range of harmful insects attacking fruit trees, vegetables, field crops, and ornamental plants.

Cord 72% EC ensures immediate elimination of insects after application.
Mode of Action Acts by contact, stomach, and fumigant action. The biological effect appears through respiratory failure, while the primary mechanism involves inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity in the insect nervous system. This leads to accumulation of acetylcholine, causing paralysis and eventual death of the insect.
