How Profile 440EC Works

Profile 440EC works by disrupting the insect’s nervous system after contact or ingestion. This leads to paralysis and death within hours of exposure. The insecticide is absorbed through the outer skin or consumed by feeding pests. It provides quick results and continues to protect the crop for days after application, offering both curative and preventive advantages.
