Features
of the Product
- AGRITARA
functions as a broad-spectrum insecticide.
- Classified as a
systemic insecticide, AGRITARA combines contact and stomach action.
- It falls within
the neonicotinoids class of insecticides.
- AGRITARA is a
novel solution designed to combat various sucking insect pests across multiple
crops.
- Particularly
effective against sucking pests that have developed resistance to conventional
insecticides.
- Exhibits notable
translaminar action.
- Its translaminar
and systemic properties facilitate absorption and translocation throughout the
entire plant, effectively controlling hidden insects.
- Offers both
quick and long-lasting control.
- Boasts excellent
rain fastness properties.
- Rapid uptake
into plants with acropetal movement through the xylem.
- Virtually
compatible with other insecticides.
- Leaves no
residue, ensuring target specificity and environmental acceptance.
- Relatively safe
for beneficial insects.
- Suitable for
Integrated Pest Management strategies.
- Acts as a
preventive measure against the spread of diseases, such as leaf curl in cotton,
by controlling insect vectors.
Method of
Operation
- AGRITARA is
classified within the neonicotinoid insecticide group, targeting the central
nervous system of insects.
- Upon contact or
ingestion of AGRITARA, insects immediately cease feeding.
- Affected sucking
insects are deterred from re-penetrating plant tissues.
- AGRITARA
disrupts the postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect
nervous system.
- Irreversible
blockage of postsynaptic (nAChRs) induces hyperexcitation of the nerves.
- Hyperexcitation
leads to convulsions and eventual paralysis in insects.
- The cumulative
effect results in the death of the insects.
How and
When to Apply
- AGRITARA is
suitable for both foliar spray and soil drench applications.
1. Initiate the first spray upon the initial
appearance of pests.
2. Repeat 2-3 sprays at intervals of 10-15 days,
adjusting frequency based on the level of pest intensity.
1. Apply around the root zone before the onset of
pest presence, conducting a single soil drench during the crop season.
2. To mitigate resistance issues in the long term,
it is recommended to alternate AGRITARA with other groups of insecticides.
Safety
Guidelines and Remedy
- Avoid spraying
during foggy weather conditions.
