Gamma-cyhalothrin is a single-isomer pyrethroid insecticide based on unique, patented, process chemistry invented by Cheminova.

Gamma-cyhalothrin is the most active pyrethroid in the world, offering broad-spectrum control of insect pests in a wide range of agricultural crops.

Gamma-cyhalothrin has use rates that are among the lowest for any insecticide. Low use rates translate into less active ingredient in the environment.

Cheminova manufactures gamma-cyhalothrin on behalf of Pytech Chemicals, which is a 50:50 joint venture between Dow AgroSciences and Cheminova. Pytech Chemicals is responsible for worldwide registration and market development activities.

Products based on gamma-cyhalothrin are marketed by Dow AgroSciences and Cheminova´s local organisations and partners. Gamma-cyhalothrin was launched in 2002. Gamma-cyhalothrin is marketed under the brand names Nexide® and Fentrol®.
