Product Description: Chlorfenapyr 36% SC is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide, effective against a variety of pests, including lepidopterans (caterpillars), coleopterans (beetles), and acari (mites). It acts as a non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action, killing insects on contact or ingestion. Additionally, it is a translaminar insecticide, penetrating plant leaves to target pests feeding on the leaf undersides.
