Krunu Edge – Chlorfenapyr 36% SC
multi-purpose acaricide and insecticide with contact, stomach, and penetrative effects, effective on resistant pests.
Chlorfenapyr is a pro-insecticide compound from the pyrrole group that becomes active after entering the pest’s body. It disrupts ATP production by inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation, causing cessation of vital functions, paralysis, and death of insects and mites. This characteristic makes chlorfenapyr a suitable choice for managing resistant populations in agricultural and greenhouse conditions.
