control a wide range of insect pests in various crops. It effectively disrupts the life
cycle of insects, preventing them from reaching maturity and reproducing.
How does

molt and grow. This disrupts the normal growth process of insects, leading to their eventual
death.
What crops can Cyromazine 70% WP be used on?
Cyromazine 70% WP can be used
on a variety of crops, including vegetables, fruits, field crops, and ornamental plants. It
is particularly effective in controlling pests in crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, melons,
and cucumbers.
Is Cyromazine 70% WP safe for use around beneficial
insects?
Cyromazine 70% WP is considered safe for beneficial insects such as bees and
ladybugs. It specifically targets the larvae of harmful insects, leaving beneficial insects
unharmed. However, it is essential to follow label instructions to minimize any potential
risks.
What is the application rate for Cyromazine 70% WP?
The application rate
for Cyromazine 70% WP can vary depending on the crop being treated and the targeted pest. It

rate and frequency.
Is Cyromazine 70% WP rainfast after application?

heavy rain shortly after application may reduce the efficacy of the product.
How
