CONTRINO® 5 SG is a selective insecticide that acts by contact and ingestion. It interrupts nerve impulses in larvae. After ingestion or contact with the product, the larvae are immediately paralyzed, stop feeding, and die from starvation, preventing crop damage. The greatest effect on the pest is observed 3 to 4 days after application. It should be applied as a foliar spray to crops and against the pests described in the Recommendations for Use.
