Product
Description:
CHEETAH 505 is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide
used in agriculture to control a wide range of pests. It combines two active
ingredients: Chlorpyriphos at 50% and Cypermethrin at 5%. These ingredients
work together to effectively manage and eliminate various insect and mite
infestations in crops.
Active
Ingredients:
- Chlorpyriphos (50%): Chlorpyriphos is an organophosphorus compound
known for its effectiveness in controlling soil-dwelling insects, termites, and
a variety of crop-damaging pests. It acts by inhibiting the activity of
acetylcholinesterase in insects, leading to paralysis and death.
- Cypermethrin (5%): Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid
insecticide that is effective against a broad spectrum of pests. It works by
affecting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and ultimately
leading to their death.
How
to Use:
- Dilution: Mix the recommended amount of CHEETAH 505 with water as per
the manufacturer's instructions. The precise dilution ratio may vary depending
on the crop, pest type, and severity.
- Application: Apply the diluted solution evenly over the crop using suitable
application equipment, ensuring thorough coverage. Pay special attention to the
undersides of leaves and target areas where pests are most active.
- Safety Precautions: Always wear appropriate protective clothing,
including gloves and goggles, during mixing and application. Avoid direct skin
contact with the product, and wash hands and equipment thoroughly after use.

Method
of Operation
- Chlorpyriphos,
an organophosphate insecticide, works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase in the
insect nervous system.
- Acetylcholinesterase
normally breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter vital for nervous system
function.
- Inhibition
results in acetylcholine accumulation, leading to nerve overstimulation,
paralysis, and ultimately, the insect's death.
- Cypermethrin, a
synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, disrupts sodium channels in the insect
nervous system.
- These channels
play a role in transmitting nerve impulses, and disruption leads to the accumulation
of sodium ions within nerve cells.
- This
accumulation causes hyperexcitation and paralysis in the insect.
