- Crops: Lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS is used to control pests in crops like cotton, paddy (rice), brinjal (eggplant), okra, tomato, grapes, chilli, soybean, pomegranate, and cardamom.
- Target Pests: It is effective against bollworms in cotton, stem borers and leaf folders in paddy, borers in brinjal and okra, thrips and flea beetles in grapes, and thrips and pod borers in chilli.
- Mode of Action: It works by both contact and ingestion, meaning it can kill pests on contact or when they ingest treated plant material.
Public Health Applications:
- Pest Control: It can be used to control insects like cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, and flies.
Benefits of Lambda-Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS:
- Compatibility: Can be mixed with other pesticides for broader pest control.
- Long-lasting Control: The CS (Capsule Suspension) formulation provides a slow and controlled release of the active ingredient, leading to longer residual activity and improved rainfastness compared to conventional formulations.
- Cost-effective: Can be effective at low doses.
- Compatibility: Can be mixed with other pesticides for broader pest control.
