Carbomain Insecticide Technical Name
Carbofuran 3% CG
Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Systemic and contact action
Mode of Action: Carbomain contains Carbofuran, a carbamate insecticide.
It acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity in insects, causing disruption of nerve signal transmission. This results in paralysis and eventual death of target pests.
When applied to soil, Carbomain is absorbed through plant roots and translocated through the vascular system, helping control both root-feeding and foliar pests.
Time of Application: Apply Carbomain according to the crop and pest recommendation.
For soil application, incorporate the granules properly into the soil as recommended.
