By targeting key enzymes in pests, the product provides reliable pest management in agricultural settings.

To maintain its efficacy, Chlorpyriphos should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. The product is stable under these recommended conditions, and its shelf life extends to two years when properly handled. Ensuring correct storage helps prevent degradation or accidental exposure.
