19. PLANT BACK PERIODS or RECROPPING INTERVALS:

20. MODE OF ACTION:

A contact and ingested broad spectrum insecticide. Has repellent and anti feeding action. Some insects will starve rather than eat treated plants. Non systemic. Stable in ultraviolet light which aids it persistence on foliage.

A group 3A, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that is a sodium channel modulator.

Has a very quick knockdown action (within minutes of application).

21. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE:

Some populations of Helicoverpa armigera are resistant to synthetic pyrethroids and this product will not control them.
