Adama Lamdex is a non-systemic, photostable, third-generation synthetic pyrethroid insecticide formulated with Lambda-cyhalothrin (available in standard EC or high-performance Super variants). It features strong contact, stomach, and repellent actions, providing an immediate knockdown of target insects alongside long-lasting residual protection for diverse cropping systems.
Active Ingredient & Mode of Action
Lambda-cyhalothrin: Interferes with the normal functioning of the insect nervous system by modifying sodium ion flow, resulting in rapid paralysis, cessation of feeding, and eventual mortality.
Dual Action: Works through both direct contact and ingestion, making it highly effective against a broad spectrum of chewing and sucking agricultural pests.
Crop-Wise Uses and Dosage
Lamdex is widely registered for use across commercial row crops, vegetables, pulse crops, and horticultural fruits.

Pollinator Protection: Avoid application during peak bloom periods when bees and other beneficial pollinators are actively foraging.
