MODE OF ACTION
Chloro GR is a broad-spectrum insecticide that kills insects upon contact by affecting the normal function of the nervous system. When insects are exposed, chlorpyrifos binds to the active site of the cholinesterase (ChE) enzyme, which prevents breakdown of ACh in the synaptic cleft. It is a non-systemic insecticide with contact, stomach and respiratory action.
