Leafan 50

Leafan 50 (Chlorpyrifos 50% EC)

Leafan 50 is a highly effective organophosphate insecticide, widely used to control a broad spectrum of insect pests in agricultural crops. Formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, it offers reliable protection against key pests in crops such as rice, cotton and vegetables, ensuring enhanced crop health and improved yields.

Mode of Action:

Chlorpyrifos 50% EC acts by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is essential for proper nerve function in insects. This disruption leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine at nerve synapses, causing continuous nerve stimulation, paralysis and ultimately the death of the pest.

Key features and Benefits:


  • A potent insecticide that effectively controls both biting and sucking insects.
  • A versatile solution for managing agricultural pests as well as household termites.
  • Delivers quick initial results while maintaining a strong, lasting residual effect.
  • Provides triple-action control through direct contact, stomach poisoning, and fumigation.
