Lambda-cyhalothrin is an agricultural and public health insecticide, controlling a wide spectrum of insects and mites, at all developmental stages, on a wide range of crops. It is non-systemic, with very little translaminar activity. It is of low volatility and short persistence in soil and therefore has only limited uses as a soil insecticide. However, lambda-cyhalothrin WP, EC and slow-release CS are also used, respectively, for indoor residual spraying, space spraying and treatment of mosquito nets, for the control of vectors and pests of public health importance.
