Mode of Action
Understanding the mechanism of PROGRESS PLUS
Profenofos inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity in insects, causing nerve excitation and eventual paralysis. Cypermethrin disrupts sodium channel function in the insect nervous system, resulting in repetitive nerve firing and rapid knockdown. Together, these two active ingredients provide dual neurological disruption, delivering faster and more effective pest mortality than either molecule alone.
