Quick Overview
Phenex 50 (Phenthoate 50% EC) is a broad-spectrum, non-systemic organophosphorus insecticide that provides effective control against chewing and sucking pests across multiple crops. It delivers quick knockdown action, particularly targeting bollworms, caterpillars, thrips, and caseworms.
