Mode of Action

CARINA with its unique mode of action has superior advantages over several other products. As a member of the organophosphate family of insecticides, CARINA works by potent inhibition of the enzyme acetyl cholinesterase, which is essential for the transmission of impulses between nerve cells. After feeding on a CARINA-treated plant or crawling over a treated leaf, the pest is first paralyzed and then quickly dies.
