Technical Specifications

How Anth Super Works

Chlorpyrifos belongs to IRAC Group 1B and inhibits acetylcholinesterase in susceptible insects. Alpha-cypermethrin belongs to IRAC Group 3A and acts as a sodium-channel modulator. Together they affect insect nervous-system function through two different mechanisms.

Do not repeatedly depend on the same 1B + 3A combination. Where another treatment is required, choose a label-approved insecticide from a different effective IRAC group as part of an integrated pest-management programme.

Registered Crop, Target Pests and Dosage

PHI means pre-harvest interval. No per-acre or per-litre rate is supplied here because the official label states the recommendation per hectare.
