It is known about malofos that it belongs to broad-spectrum insecticides, is a representative of the class of organophosphorus compounds. In mixtures with other substances, malathion is actively used in agriculture to kill harmful insects. Once in the body of parasites, malathion turns into a more toxic substance.

Cypermethrin added to Alatar is recognized worldwide as effective against many harmful insects that destroy crops in fields and backyard plots. The substance causes paralysis of the nervous system of larvae and adults, remaining on treated plants for up to 20-30 days. If parasites develop resistance to malophos, cypermethrin destroys it.

Alatar remedy

As part of Alatar, both substances reliably protect vegetable gardens and orchards from parasites throughout the season.
