Description
It is a powerful combination of insecticide and fungicide. The combination shows effective control for sucking pests and various fungal diseases. In this combination, Pymetrozine works as an anti-feeding insecticide which mainly targets aphids, whiteflies and hoppers. Dinotefuran is an insecticide that acts on the nervous system of pests. The last part of this combination is Pyraclostrobin, which is a fungicide and protects crops from different diseases like powdery mildew, rust and leaf spots. This formulation gives a complete crop protection solution by managing both insect pests and fungal diseases.
Benefits
- It provides dual action protection by attacking on harmful insects as well as fungal pathogens
- It is effective against major pests, i.e., the Brown plant hopper and White backed plant hopper, which makes it highly suitable for pest free paddy cultivation
- Its systemic action helps in uniform control in the whole plant
- It prevents and controls the rice blast diseases
- Improves crop health by promoting vigorous growth
How does it works
Pymetrozine and Dinotefuran are insecticides. They both work by disrupting the nerve signalling in sucking pests and stop them from feeding, which leads to starvation and mortality. Whereas Pyraclostrobin is a fungicide which inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi and prevents energy production and ultimately causes death.
