How DELTA-S Works
DELTA-S contains deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide.
Deltamethrin acts primarily on the nervous system of susceptible insects, interfering with normal nerve-signal transmission. This can lead to rapid knockdown followed by paralysis and death of susceptible pests.
Effectiveness depends on the target pest, pest life stage, application coverage, and resistance status.
Target Pests
The specific crops, pest species, application rates, and pre-harvest intervals for DELTA-S should be taken from the current registered product label.
Do not assume that all insect pests are controlled simply because they are susceptible to pyrethroid insecticides.
