Description
Mode of Action
Pyriproxyfen 10% EC inhibits moulting and interferes with the production and regulation of insect hormones, particularly ecdysone and juvenile hormones. This disrupts the normal life cycle of insects, preventing proper development, reproduction, and population growth. Pyriproxyfen primarily targets the eggs, larvae, and pupae of insects, offering long-lasting control and selective action against a wide range of pests while minimizing impact on non-target organisms.
Benefits of Pyriproxyfen 10% EC
- It remains active for an extended period, ensuring continuous protection against insect pests.
- Provides effective control of various insect pests, including white flies, aphids, and jassids.
