Cypermethrin 10% EC is a synthetic pyrethroid emulsifiable concentrate designed for fast knockdown and 2–3 weeks of residual control against major chewing and sucking pests. With dual contact and stomach action, it protects cotton, rice, maize, soybeans, vegetables, fruits, cereals, and ornamentals in both open-field and greenhouse systems. The formulation performs reliably across varied climates, integrates smoothly into existing spray programs, and supports OEM/ODM needs with flexible packaging (100 ml / 1 L) and full documentation (COA, MSDS, ISO/SGS). It is also applicable to public health vector control per local label directions.

Benefit: Brand differentiation for distributors/retailers.
Result: Stronger shelf presence and repeat orders.
Cypermethrin 10% EC belongs to the synthetic pyrethroid group of insecticides and exerts its effect through a neurotoxic mechanism that disrupts the normal function of the insect’s nervous system.
Cypermethrin binds to and modifies the gating kinetics of voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve membranes. This causes continuous depolarization, repetitive firing of nerve impulses, and loss of coordination, leading to paralysis and death.
Contact Action: Insects absorb the chemical directly through the cuticle upon exposure.
Stomach Action: When ingested with treated plant material, it acts internally, providing dual assurance of control.
The formulation delivers an immediate knockdown within hours and residual activity lasting up to 2–3 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.
Mode of Action Group: 3A (Sodium channel modulators)
Recommended Use: Rotate with insecticides from different IRAC groups to prevent resistance build-up.
The dual contact and ingestion pathways provide both quick suppression and extended protection, making Cypermethrin 10% EC a cornerstone insecticide in modern pest management programs.
Cypermethrin 10% EC provides reliable control of chewing and sucking pests across staple and high-value crops in open-field and greenhouse systems.

Spray Type: Foliar spray using knapsack, power, or boom sprayer.
Water Volume: 400–800 L/ha, depending on crop canopy density.
Mixing Order: Half-fill tank with water → add measured Cypermethrin → agitate → top up with water while stirring.
Compatibility: Compatible with most insecticides and fungicides except highly alkaline formulations. Always perform a jar test before tank mixing.
Typical PHI: 7 days for vegetables and fruits; follow national label guidelines where applicable.
Always read and follow label directions. Avoid spraying during strong winds or near water bodies.
Cypermethrin 10% EC must be handled and applied strictly according to the registered label and local regulations. The following guidance supports safe use in agricultural and public-health scenarios.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves/trousers, closed shoes, and eye/face protection; use a respirator where ventilation is poor or aerosol exposure is likely.
Wash hands, face, and exposed skin after mixing/spraying and before eating or smoking.
Launder contaminated clothing separately.
Mix in a well-ventilated area; avoid splashes and do not inhale spray mist.
Keep bystanders and animals away from treated zones.
Drift control: avoid windy conditions; use appropriate nozzles and pressure; maintain buffer zones near water bodies and apiaries.
Restricted-Entry Interval (REI): Follow local label; if unspecified, delay re-entry until spray deposits are dry; wear PPE if early entry is required.
Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Typically 7 days for many fruit/vegetable crops—always follow national label.
Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry, locked, and ventilated place, away from food/feed and ignition sources.
Keep out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
Transport upright; protect from heat and sunlight.
Small spill: Contain with absorbent (sand/earth), collect into labeled container for disposal per local regulations.
Rinse water & leftovers: Do not discharge to drains or waterways. Triple-rinse empty containers and dispose/recycle according to local rules.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash with soap and water.
Eye contact: Rinse cautiously with clean water for 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if easy.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; keep warm and at rest.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth; seek medical attention immediately.
Present product label/MSDS to healthcare providers.
This guidance does not replace the registered label. Always follow national regulations and product-specific instructions.
Cypermethrin 10% EC is moderately toxic to mammals and highly toxic to fish and bees. Responsible stewardship and correct timing/application are essential to minimize ecological risk.
High aquatic toxicity: Prevent contamination of waterways, drains, and irrigation canals.
Buffer zones: Maintain no-spray buffer strips near ponds, streams, and drainage ditches.
Equipment hygiene: Do not rinse tanks or dispose of washings in or near water bodies.
Bees: Avoid spraying during bloom and periods of peak bee activity; apply in early morning or late afternoon.
Natural enemies: Use spot or edge treatments where possible to conserve predators/parasitoids; integrate with biological controls.
Apply at labeled rates to avoid runoff and off-target drift.
Use drift-reducing nozzles, appropriate boom height, and moderate pressure; avoid strong winds.
Rotate with different IRAC groups and integrate with IPM (monitoring, thresholds, cultural controls) to reduce selection pressure and maintain long-term field performance.
Never apply directly to water. Collect and dispose of residues according to local environmental regulations.
