Mode of Action Of Chlorpyrifos Insecticide Jaffer Agro
Chlorpyrifos Insecticide works by disrupting the nervous system of insects. It inhibits the enzyme cholinesterase, which is responsible for breaking down acetylcholine in the nervous system. When cholinesterase is inhibited, acetylcholine accumulates, leading to overstimulation of the insect's nervous system.
This causes paralysis and death of the insect. The pest's feeding and movement are halted quickly, and their control is maintained for an extended period, ensuring sustained protection of crops.
