Tope Insecticide is a commercial-grade organophosphate formulation designed for strong control of persistent pest infestations, especially mites and sucking insects. It is widely used in horticultural and cash crops where pest pressure is high and quick suppression is required.

Ethion-based formulation provides both contact and fumigant action, allowing it to penetrate dense foliage and control hidden pest populations. It is particularly effective against mite complexes and scale insects that are difficult to manage with conventional insecticides. The product delivers rapid knockdown and helps restore crop vigor by reducing pest load effectively.
