Decis® 100 Deltamethrin 100 EC (11% w/w) (Bayer, India)

Deltamethrin is the world's most effective synthetic pyrethroid insecticide for use in agriculture, being photo stable. It is nonsystemic insecticide which acts by contact and ingestion, and exhibiting a broad spectrum control of chewing and sucking insects.

Deltamethrin is effective against a wide range of insect pests, which include Lepidoptera, Homoptera; particularly Aphids and Psylla but also some Coccidea and Cicadellinea, Heteroptera, Thysanoptera; selected thrips species, Diptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera.

MODE OF ACTION

Decis acts on the insects by contact and ingestion. Its high lipophilicity provides a high affinity with the insect cuticle. In the insect body it affects the nerve transmission by acting on axon. It disrupts the conduction of the nervous influx by modifying the kinetics of the function of the sodium canal.

Very low solubility in water giving a good rain fastness.
Very low vapor pressure and therefore a good resistance to evaporation.
Most effective synthetic pyrethroid because of single pure isomer.
