About Cyproflanilide
A new weapon against pest resistance cyproflanilide is a cutting-edge insecticide designed to combat pest resistance, particularly in challenging pest populations.
It is effective against a wide range of chewing pests in multiple crops, including rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, fruits, and vegetables.
The product stands out for its high efficacy at low application rates, and its ability to control a broad spectrum of pests, including lepidoptera species resistant to traditional insecticides.
