Chlorpyriphos 10% GR

Description

Chlorpyriphos 10% Granules is used to control for Rice insects which contains 10% Chlorpyriphos active ingredient.

Mode of action:

It interferes with signals from the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It binds permanently to the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, preventing this enzyme from deactivating acetylcholine in the synapse. By irreversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, chlorpyriphos leads to a build-up of acetylcholine between neurons and a stronger, longer-lasting signal to the next neuron. Only when new molecules of acetylcholinesterase have been synthesized can normal function return.
