Description
This is a combination of insecticide and fungicide which provides effective control for different pests and diseases. In this combination, Pymetrozine acts as an anti-feeding agent against different pests. Whereas Thiamethoxam is an insecticide which kills insects and ensures an insect-free field, the last but not least, Hexaconazole is a fungicide that controls fungal diseases like powdery mildew, rust and leaf spot.
Benefits
- It controls major sucking pests like aphids, whiteflies and hoppers
- Its triple action enables better crop protection with a single application
- Its systemic action allows uniform distribution within the whole plant
- It provides long lasting residual protection hence reduces the need for the frequent spraying
- It increases crop yield and quality by suppressing pests and diseases
How it works
- Pymetrozine- It disrupts insect feeding behaviour by breaking down the nervous system. It causes starvation and death of insects.
- Thiamethoxam- It also interferes with the nervous system of insects. It breaks down the insect nervous system by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to paralysis and mortality of insects.
- Hexaconazole- It inhibits ergosterol production which is a key component of fungal cell membrane which leads to fungal cell collapse and death.
