Product Description:
Godrej Theron – Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC is a highly effective, broad-spectrum insecticide from Godrej Agrovet, designed to deliver fast-acting and long-lasting control of key insect pests across multiple crops. Formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), Theron contains 5% of Lambda Cyhalothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid known for its strong contact and stomach action. It is especially effective in managing sudden pest outbreaks due to its rapid knockdown capability.
Mode of Action:
The active ingredient, Lambda Cyhalothrin, works by disrupting the nervous system of insects. It targets the sodium channels in the nerve cells, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and ultimately death. This makes Theron effective against both sucking and chewing pests, helping farmers protect their crops from a wide range of threats with a single solution.

Benefits:
One of the standout features of Theron is its quick knockdown effect. Within minutes of contact, pests are immobilized and eliminated, reducing the immediate threat to crops. The product also exhibits residual activity, which means it continues to protect the crop for several days after spraying, reducing the need for frequent applications.
Theron is rainfast, meaning it retains its effectiveness even after light rainfall. Its low dosage requirement—typically around 150 to 200 ml per acre—makes it an economical choice for farmers, offering high returns on investment. It is most effective when applied during early infestation or as a preventive measure during pest-prone crop stages.
