Description
Description
Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG is a highly effective insecticide combination designed to control key sap-sucking pests such as whiteflies, aphids, and leafhoppers in crops like vegetables, cotton, and ornamentals. This formulation provides both contact and systemic action, ensuring prolonged protection and superior pest management.
Mode of action
Ethiprole disrupts the neurotransmission in insects by inhibiting gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, leading to paralysis and death. Pymetrozine, a selective insect growth regulator, targets the nervous system of pests by inhibiting feeding behavior, reducing damage. The combination provides quick knockdown and long-lasting residual control.
Benefits
- Dual action control: Targets both feeding and neural disruption, providing effective pest management.
- Effective against sucking pests: Highly effective against whiteflies, aphids, and leafhoppers.
- Selective action: Minimizes impact on beneficial insects, promoting ecological balance.
- Long lasting residual: Protects crops over an extended period with fewer applications.
- Promotes crop health: Reduces pest-induced stress, enhancing crop growth and yield potential.
Application guidelines
Apply Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG as a foliar spray when pest populations reach economic threshold levels. Use the recommended dosage and follow the advised application intervals for optimal results. Ensure thorough coverage of plant surfaces for effective pest control.
