Profenofos Insecticide
Profenofos is a three-component asymmetric organophosphorus insecticide with contact, stomach poison, and penetration effects, known for its fast-acting properties. This product has excellent penetration on plant leaves, and its mechanism of action is to inhibit cholinesterase in insects, making it highly effective against cotton bollworms. Profenofos is not only suitable for cotton but is also widely used for pest control in vegetables and fruit trees, particularly against resistant bollworms.
Mode of Action
Profenofos acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting the insect nervous system by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine. This results in continuous nerve firing, paralysis, and eventual death. The product works through both contact and ingestion, and also targets insect eggs.
Product Formulations
We offer a variety of single and combined Profenofos formulations to meet diverse grower needs:
Single Formulations:
- Profenofos 40% EC
- Profenofos 720g/l EC
Combined Formulations:

- Profenofos 12.5% + Fenvalerate 12.5% EC
- Profenofos 15% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.5% EC

- Aphids
- Whiteflies
- Thrips
- Mites
- Caterpillars
- Leafhoppers
- Bollworms (especially in cotton)
- Cutworms
It also targets some ovicidal pests, aiding in breaking pest life cycles.
Main Crop Applications
- Cotton: Widely used for managing bollworms, mites, and aphids.
- Vegetables: Effective in controlling pests in tomatoes, cabbage, and potatoes, targeting caterpillars and leafminers.
- Fruit Crops: Used in citrus, grapes, and apples to manage thrips, mites, and aphids.
- Tobacco: Effectively controls aphids and whiteflies.

Application Method
- Foliar Spray: Applied directly to plant leaves, where it is absorbed and affects pests through contact and ingestion. This method targets pests feeding on the plant surface.
- Timing: Best applied early in pest infestations to prevent population growth. Repeated applications may be necessary, especially in high-pressure situations like cotton.
- Ovicidal Action: Kills insect eggs, reducing future generations and disrupting life cycles.
